Dear Friends,
Vanakkam! Greetings from Chennai.
For the first time in my life I had the chance of sighting a couple of beautiful insect-eating plants at Vedaranyam, (10.29 N 79.85 E) last Sunday (06.12.2010)
I guess one of them is Drosera indica, am not sure of the second sps though.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
regards,
ramjee

May I also learn how you narrow in on the id of the species?
The indica id of mine was by simple guess was that they are found in India and the leaf appearance was similar to the sps... :)
Would be happy to learn the technique as well.

No technique is needed for Drosera in India. There are three species
only- all very distinct in characters. So if you see photos of all
three (Drosera indica, D. burmanni, and D. peltata) you can correctly
id each. You can look at recent Hornbill issue (from BNHS) which has
an article on insectivorous species in India including photos of all
three Drosera spp.
