Drosophyllum lusitanicum, also known as the Dewy Pine, is unique in many ways. For starters, it is the only plant in its genus. It is also distinct from most other carnivorous plants in that it tends to like dry environments.

My experience with these plants is that they can be quite finnicky! I've had a few die on me, which is always a tragedy since they are not that easy to find. I am lucky because I have a friend who has had better luck growing these and is generous in sharing plants with me.
