Also known as sundews

Drosera, which is commonly known as the sundews, is one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants, with at least 194 species. These members of the family Droseraceae lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surfaces. The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition of the soil in which the plants grow. Various species, which vary greatly in size and form, are native to every continent except Antarctica.

基文（毛氈苔属、学名：Drosera）は、ウツボカズラ目モウセンゴケ科に属する食虫植物の一属であり、湿原に多く生育する草本である。特徴として、葉の縁および表面に粘液滴を持つ腺毛を持ち、ハエやガなどの小型の昆虫を捕らえて窒素化合物やリン酸などを得ることで、土壌の栄養塩類に乏しい湿原に適応している。英語名は、陽光の下で輝く粘液滴を露に見立てて Sundew（太陽の露）であり、学名の Drosera は、ギリシャ語で「露」をあらわす drosos が語源となっている。また、日本語のモウセンゴケは、群生地での赤い色で毛羽立った葉を緋毛氈に見立てたものである。
