Are you asking if there are more than 2 types of sundew? If so, yes. There are more than 180 species! Lots of fun sundews. So far I have about 8 types and counting  Many here have a lot more than I do! |

Bainskloof to give it its proper name (the engineer that built the road here was named Bains)is very rich in plants. They are part of the Cape floral Kingdom and as such only found in the Soutern part of the South Africa. Many species of this kingdom are not widespread, actually highly localised.
What adds an extra to this part of South Africa is that the kloof (= gorge)runs through a mountainrange that seperates the more lush so called Fynbos vegetation around the Wit rivier from the Karoo type (semi desert) vegetation on the other side.

D. sp. "floating" was just an admirabilis form that was found often growing on water surfaces, which in other locations was unusual. Or, at least I believe it was admirabilis, can't fully recall offhand.
