Drosera aliciae is a perennial carnivorous plant producing spoon-shaped leaves, up to 25 mm long and 7 mm wide, which are tightly packed to form a dense, clumping basal rosette, when mature, often forming a mound, 1.5–4 cm (½ -1½ in) high, as a result of the build up of older dead basal leaves. Leaves are green, assuming an orange, to reddish hue in high light and the upper surfaces are covered with red, sticky, glandular hairs, which trap and digest insect prey. A single inflorescence to 4cm (1½ in)in height is produced in summer, bearing 2-12 single flowers in deep pink, opening in ascending order
