'''''Drosera macrophylla''''', the '''showy sundew''',<ref name="FloraBase">{{FloraBase|id=3107|name=''Drosera macrophylla''}}</ref> is a perennial tuberous species in the genus ''Drosera'' that is endemic to Western Australia. It grows in a rosette with leaves {{convert|4|cm|0|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2|cm|0|abbr=on}} wide. It is a common species east of Perth. It grows in loam soils. It flowers from June to October. ''D.&nbsp;macrophylla'' was first described by John Lindley in his 1839 publication ''A sketch of the vegetation of the Swan River Colony''. In 1992, Allen Lowrie and Sherwin Carlquist described a new subspecies, ''D.&nbsp;macrophylla'' subsp. ''monantha'', which is distinguished from ''D.&nbsp;macrophylla'' subsp. ''macrophylla'' by its single-flowered or rarely biflowered inflorescences. Subspecies ''monantha'' is abundant in the Bruce Rock/Merredin region.<ref name="Lowrie and Carlquist 1992">Lowrie, A. and S. Carlquist. 1992. Eight new taxa of ''Drosera'' from Australia. ''Phytologia'', 73(2): 98-116.</ref> The specific epithet ''macrophylla'' originates from Greek words ''makros'' (large) and ''phyllon'' (leaf) meaning 'large-leaved'.
