Drosera admirabilis, commonly referred to as the "floating sundew", is in the carnivorous us plant family Droseraceae.
The nickname "admirabilis" was first used in literature by Paul Debbert in 1987 and was derived from how "admirable" the plant appears when it reaches a fully matured specimen.
Structurally similar to Drosera aliciae, and Drosera cuneifolia, the D. admirabilis grows in a single tight rosette-shaped leaf bundle.
The leaves widen towards the end and have rounded tips.
Leaves lay horizontally under proper lighting conditions.
Like many other African sundews, D. admirabilis is a perennial.
D. admirabilis has outer tentacles like those of Drosera glanduligera, Drosera sessilifolia and Drosera burmannii which  briefly after stimulation bend towards the prey.
