A similar species, Drosera filiformis is rare in the Florida panhandle and disjunct from northeastern US populations.  In Florida, it is restricted to the Sand Hill Lakes region of the Panhandle and occurs along the fringes of those sandhill lakes.  At one time, Drosesra tracyi was called Drosera filiformis var. tracyi.  They are now considered to be different species.
