負子愛心毛氈苔茅膏菜 Sundews ( Drosera prolifera )
Drosera prolifera is a member of the "3 Sisters of Queensland," a group of closely-related sundews endemic to Queensland's tropical rainforests (Lowrie 132). Drosera prolifera is able to grow well in brighter locations and lower humidity than the more difficult D. schizandra (another member of the 3 Sisters of Queensland).
I recommend starting with Drosera adelae since D. prolifera is a bit harder to obtain and it is usually more expensive. While a successful attempt with D. adelae doesn't guarantee that D. prolifera will grow vigorously in the same conditions, it can still provide a good indication that this species should do well for you.
