Alloy plant, soil and water
Serra da Cabreira · flora and habitat
A carnivorous plant in the mountains
Visit Cabeceiras includes Drosera rotundifolia in the mountain flora. Flora-On describes its habitat as waterlogged meadows, marshes and peat bogs with Sphagnum mosses, generally in mountain areas. The reference concerns Cabreira as a whole; it does not identify an observation point in this guide. A review by the US Forest Service helps explain this connection with water: it describes continuously moist conditions and soils that are often acidic and poor in nutrients. The plant tolerates prolonged dry spells poorly. This explanation concerns the species in general, rather than measurements of soil or water in Cabreira.
