Drosera capillaris, commonly known as the pink or spathulate-leaved sundew, is a small carnivorous plant of the family Droseraceae found in wet pine flatwoods and bogs of the southeastern United States, ranging from eastern Texas east to Florida and north to Virginia, as well as in some areas of the Caribbean. It typically ranges from 2 to 4 cm in diameter, but in wet habitats it can grow up to 7 cm. Its leaves are arranged in a rosette and generally lie flat on the ground. The leaves are lime-green and the tentacles are red, and in strong sun the entire plant appears red. Some individuals act as annuals and some as perennials, and the flowers are pink and typically show up in April. It is not unusual to see D. capillaris, along with its relative the Drosera brevifolia, carpet large areas so thickly that it is hard to walk without stepping on them.
