Leaves grow upwards. They are not the same width but are wider about
mid length, and pointed at the end. I guess a pie slice is close. It
is quite an attractive plant, looks like it could grow fairly large. I
thought perhaps it was D. linearis, but when I looked up native American
species it didn't resemble any of them. The midrib is the oddest thing,
I've never seen it in a sundew before. James.
