Is this another Drosera you have growing locally?</span>
 
yes,few years ago,at a little corner of sunset peak.
it has 6 petal,different from oblanceolata!

Hi,

This plant looks like Drosera oblanceolata to me.

Does it always have 6 petals?

Christian
 
Yes,all of the single plant has 6 petals.
I have grown oblanceolata with pale pink flower,they are similar but not all the same.

rex
 
Yes, I would agree that this is D. oblanceolata although I have never heard of a white flowered form it does not surprise me that you have found one. It may be that the flowers have not gotten their full color. I would discount the possibility of hybridization in habitat due to the fact that there are no white flowered D. spatulata forms present on Sunset Peak that I am aware of. The 6 petaled flower is interesting.....such abberant flowers can indicate hybridization but not in this case I think.
 
Are there any drosera's petals has this characters?i mean same species but different number of petals,strange to me:D

Rex,

Although hexamerous flowers appear from time to time within any given Drosera species, it is not a common event, and no species has a typically 6 petaled flower that I am aware of. Drosera are typically pentamerous (with 5 petals), the only real exception I know of being D. pygmaea which typically produces 4 petals per flower (but even this is variable).
