Drosera salina is an erect perennial tuberous species in the carnivorous plant genus Drosera. It is endemic to Western Australia and is only found in salt-free sand on the margins of salt lakes in a few locations north of Albany east to north-west of Esperance. The specific epithet, salina, refers to the salt lake margins that this species inhabits. D. salina produces small carnivorous leaves along stems that can be high. White flowers bloom from July to September.Marchant, N. G., and Lowrie, A. 1992. New names and new combinations in 34 taxa of Western Australian tuberous and pygmy Drosera.
