Drosera brevifolia (the dwarf, small or red sundew) is a carnivorous plant of the family Droseraceae native to the Americas. This species differs considerably from the pink sundew, Drosera capillaris, by its wedge-shaped leaves, and distinctly deeper red to reddish purple color, noticeable when side by side with D. capillaris.
