The only way to be certain it is D. hookeri by field observation, is if it has a branched stem. Drosera peltata is a more likely candidate as this plant has hairy sepals and no branching. Drosera hookeri is not common within the ACT.

I thought it had been concluded that D. hookeri was the usual species in the ACT and D. peltata had been misidentified.

That's very interesting and news to me! If possible could you please provide a link to the literature.

There was discussion on CNM but I need to check sightings to get the whole story. See for example Drosera gunniana (Pale Sundew) and https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/3360728.

Thanks for the information! I will post some pics soon of D. peltata complex plants that do not fit with the new name changes. Hopefully with help I can finally resolve. Eg. Multi-stemmed plants with glabrous sepals. Very small plants that never have multiple branches.
