Drosera tokaiensis is a species of sundew native to Japan. It is considered to be a natural hybrid of Drosera rotundifolia and Drosera spatulata . These two parent species have 20 and 40 chromosomes, respectively, so recent hybrids between them are sterile, having 30 chromosomes, while the stabilized, fertile D. tokaiensis has 60 (i.e. allohexaploid). [1] The species was previously thought to be a subspecies or variety of Drosera spatulata . It is often mistaken for D. spatulata in cultivation.
