Drosera murfetii is a species of the carnivorous sundew family, and is endemic to western Tasmania, Australia . Although similar in appearance to its close relative, D. arcturi, this species is distinct in that it tends to possess only one or two carnivorous leaves, the rest being non-carnivorous. Other features that distinguish it from D. arcturi are its larger size and tendency to produce more flowers per scape.[1]
