Identifying a Mystery Drosera Hybrid: Possible Ivan's Paddle

Plant resembles D. rotundifolia×intermedia/anglica hybrid—rotundifolia leaves with elongated petioles. Growing in tropical conditions without dormancy supports hybrid ID (pure rotundifolia would dormancy/die). May be "Ivan's Paddle" (D. rotundifolia×intermedia, tetraploid, fertile). Source: Cook's Carnivores. Keep tropical; try leaf cuttings and flower pollination for propagation.
