Drosera magnifica
''Drosera magnifica'' is a species of sundew endemic to Pico Padre Ângelo (1500–1530 m asl) in eastern Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil, where it grows among sandstone outcrops in herbaceous and shrubby vegetation. It is one of the three largest species of ''Drosera'' - the other two being ''D. regia'' from South Africa and ''D. gigantea'' from Australia - and was discovered in 2015 through images which appeared on the social network Facebook. It is closely related to ''Drosera graminifolia'' and ''Drosera spiralis'', is considered Critically Endangered.〔http://www.biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.220.3.4〕 Brazil is home to some 30 species of ''Drosera''.
A striking feature of ''Drosera magnifica'' is the candelabrum shape of the inflorescence. Despite a large number of seeds produced, no seedlings were found during fieldwork at the site. Instead young adventitious shoots grow 'from stems or roots of older plants'. 〔https://www.facebook.com/fernando.rivadavia〕 Plants of this species were discovered by an orchid grower Reginaldo Vasconcelos, who posted an image on Facebook in 2012. A year later Paulo Gonella, a plant researcher at the Institute of Biosciences at the University of São Paulo came across the image and realised that is was a new species. After a collecting trip to the mountain the description was published in the botanical journal ''Phytotaxa''.〔http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/no-one-knew-plant-existed-until-it-was-posted-facebook-180956084/?no-ist〕〔http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/internacional/en/scienceandhealth/2015/07/1662281-biologists-discover-new-species-of-giant-carnivorous-plant.shtml〕
''Drosera magnifica'' has the distinction of being the first plant species to be discovered through images posted in a social media group. Exact details of its location enabled professional botanists to visit the site, collect photographs and material, and compile a description.〔http://www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/content/2015/f/p00220p267f.pdf〕
