Visit Cabeceiras refers Drosera rotundifolia in the flora of the mountain. Flora-On describes its habitat: drenched meadows, bogs and peat with Sphagnum moss, usually in mountain. The reference is to the Cabreira as a whole; it does not identify a point of observation in this guide.
The review of the North American forest service helps to understand this connection to water: it describes continuously wet situations and soils often acid and poor in nutrients. The plant tolerates poorly prolonged dry periods. This explanation refers to the species in general, not a measurement of soils or water in the Cabreira.
