'''''Drosera ramellosa''''' is a species of carnivorous plant in the family ''Droseraceae''.<ref name=POWO>{{cite web |url= https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:321951-1 |title= Drosera ramellosa Lehm. |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=n.d. |website=Plants of the World Online |publisher=The Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew |access-date=June 17, 2025}}</ref><ref name=COL>{{cite web |url= https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/taxon/37QVQ |title= Drosera ramellosa Lehm. |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=n.d. |website=Catalogue of Life |publisher=Species 2000 |access-date=June 17, 2025}}</ref> It is sometimes referred to as the '''branched sundew''',<ref name="FloraBase">{{FloraBase|name=''Drosera ramellosa''|id=3128}}</ref> and is a tuberous perennial species that is endemic to Western Australia. It was first formally described by Johann Georg Christian Lehmann in 1844. It was again described by Jules Émile Planchon as ''Drosera&nbsp;penduliflora'' in 1848, which was reduced to synonymy under ''D.&nbsp;ramellosa'' in 1864 by George Bentham.<ref name="Lowrie 2005" />

==Overview== It produces 1 to 3 erect stems that grow to 4 to 12&nbsp;cm tall. The erect major stems that possess only alternate leaves with inflorescences emerging from the basal rosette distinguish it from all other members of the section ''Stolonifera''. It is native to large region from Kalbarri south to Cranbrook and east to Mount Ragged. It grows in winter-wet sandy or sand-clay soils and flowers from July to September.<ref name="Lowrie 2005">Lowrie, A. 2005.
