Drosera andersoniana, the sturdy sundew, is an erect perennial tuberous species in the genus Drosera that is endemic to Western Australia. It produces a basal rosette of leaves similar to that of Drosera peltata, and its stem grows to 8 to 25 centimetres (3 to 10 inches) tall. The pink-white to red flowers emerge from August to September. The plant grows in loamy soils near granite outcrops. The species was first described and named by William Vincent Fitzgerald, but it was first validly published by Alfred James Ewart and Jean White-Haney in 1909. As a sundew it belongs to the group of carnivorous plants, and its closest listed neighbours in the source are the other members of the genus Drosera.
