Abstract
Drosera murfetii Lowrie & Conran is a new species from south-west Tasmania, Australia, bearing mainly non-carnivorous leaves and usually several large flowers per inflorescence. It is compared to its morphologically closest taxon, Drosera arcturi Hook., with which it often grows. The two species are described and illustrated, a key to species and a comparison table of characters is provided. Drosera arcturi is lectotypified.
