| sundew | <botany> Any plant of the genus Drosera, low bog plants whose leaves are beset with pediceled glands which secrete a viscid fluid that glitters like dewdrops and attracts and detains insects. After an insect is caught, the glands curve inward like tentacles and the leaf digests it. Synonym: lustwort. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
