This is a rather fascinating form of Drosera indica 'white flower' "plants to 30 cm, Adcock Creek, Australia" that I've been growing for a while now from seed. The plants show vigor and a lack of red or pink coloration in the tentacles or tentacle glands on the front leaf surface. However, upon closer inspection, one can see the existence of dark red glandular appendages on the backs of the leaves only. The plant itself retains a lovely yellowish-green alba-like appearance even when grown in the brightest of conditions;

Note lack of pigmentation within the tentacles and glands on outer leaf surface;

 I plan on researching this phenomenon much more in-depth and will be reporting on any new findings on a continual      basis, so check back often.
