Drosera stolonifera subsp. monticola, invalidly referred to as Drosera monticola, is a perennial tuberous plant subspecies in the genus Drosera. This specific subspecies is endemic to a single mountain range in Western Australia.[1]

D. stolonifera subsp. monticola is a small plant, usually growing from 2 to 7 centimeters tall. It is entirely endemic to the summits of Toolbrunup Peak and Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Range National Park, a range of mountains in Southwestern Australia. It grows in winter-wet loamy soils. It flowers from October to November.[1]

It was first formally described as a subspecies of D. stolonifera by Allen Lowrie and N. G. Marchant in 1992. In a 2005 journal article, Lowrie elevated the subspecies to the species level as Drosera monticola. However, he did not include a reference to or a full citation of the basionym of the proposed species, making the new scientific name invalid according to Article 33.4 of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. The taxon thus formally remains a subspecies of Drosera stolonifera for the time being.[1][2]
