Gubler orchids has been using the same labels since at least the mid
70's. Anything they sell that is vaguely drosera like gets the label
"Drosera rotundifolia" on it. I have seen D. capensis, D. adelae, D.
capillaris and D. spatulata from them all labeled "D. rotundifolia". D.
spatulata would match your description well. D. spatulata requires no
dormancy and is very prolific and self fertile.
