Q: Latin American Drosera
A: South America is a hotspot for Drosera biodiversity, and I am quite confident that there are many species there that have not yet been described. The table on this page lists all the species of South America (including its offshore islands), Central America, and a bit of the Caribbean. Some of these plants are morphologically variable within their geographic ranges, and have been divided into varieties, regrouped, and shuffled around. In matters of Brazilian Drosera, I follow the perspectives of Fernando Rivadavia.
南美的毛氈苔為毛氈苔生物多樣性潛在熱點之ㄧ，而且我自信的認為有許多種類尚未被記錄。下面表格主要包含分布在南美洲(包含外島)、中美洲及部分哥倫比亞的物種。
有些物種植物具有隨著地理分布呈現高度型態多樣性，因此被區分許多變異，並且常常重新分類或合併及廢棄舊名。在巴西產的毛氈苔的爭議，我採用Fernando Rivadavia的觀點。
For the most part, Drosera has not apparently invaded the broad areas in South America that are occupied by dense rainforests. This is presumably a limitation imposed by low light levels on the forest floor; there are no known epiphytic Drosera.
在多數情況下，毛氈苔並沒有分布在這些南美洲的高密度雨林。這可能是因為森林底
