Depends on what you call "unusual." D. spatulata var. gympiensis has short, hairy flower stalks, var. bakoensis is small, has rather rounded leaf lamina and is found in Borneo, 'Tamlin' can occasionally reach almost 4" across, and there's plenty of other spatulata variants.
As hcarlton has mentioned, Drosera spatulata is one of the most widely variable species in the genus, even more variable than Drosera capillaris, though it does have a much wider range than the latter. At one time, Drosera aliciae was considered to have its origins with Drosera spatulata, being thought a polyploid derivation (in effect, an octoploid Drosera spatulata). Perhaps genetic analysis can confirm or refute this hypothesis, maybe it already has.
