Drosera sessilifolia is a carnivorous plant species found in Brazil, Guyana, and Venezuela. It grows in sandy or gravelly soils in areas where water collects. The plant has small, wedge-shaped to round leaves that are yellowish in color but turn redder as they age. Its flowers are pink-lilac in color and it has a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 20. This species was first described in 1824 and is closely related to D. burmannii, which is found in Australia and Southeast Asia. D. sessilifolia is the only species in subgenus Thelocalyx, and was previously thought to be synonymous with D. dentata.
