A tough species from New Zealand with lilac purple flowers on tall scapes and produces enormous traps just below the soil surface. It has been one of the very best species here growing very well in the greenhouse and flowering reliably. It grows out of the bottom of its pot and spreads across the base of the water trays without being a nuisance. A few years ago I threw some surplus into a tub outside that houses a sedge and a pygmy water lily. It has prospered there and grows vigorously through the summer, sinking to the base of the tub through the winter. It occurs in both Australia amnd New Zealand though most plants in cultivation seem to be from Australian..
