D. binata's closest relatives?

So what is the D. binata complex related to? I was under the impression that most of the Australian sundew species were either tuberous or pygmies and I was just wondering where D. binata fits in. I'm not expert in drosera and I'm not familliar with a lot of the more obscure species so if I'm asking a very obvious question, my apologies in advance

Drosera binata is a monotypic sub-genus of Section Drosera
(subgenus Phycopsis) which is phylogenically placed between the subgenus Bryastrum (comprised of the pygmy droserae) and the subgenus Ergaleium (comprised of the tuberous species).
 
I think he said it's a transition spiecies related to both, lol.
