Drosera whittakeri is commonly known as the Scented Sundew. This sundew has very large white flowers but the nature of the pollinating agent is not known. If it is a large insect, the sticky droplets on the leaves and stems that normally ensnare insects and help supplement the sundew's mineral diet, may not pose a danger.
