No technique is needed for Drosera in India. There are three species only- all very distinct in characters. So if you see photos of all three (Drosera indica, D. burmanni, and D. peltata) you can correctly id each. You can look at recent Hornbill issue (from BNHS) which has an article on insectivorous species in India including photos of all three Drosera spp. Regards Aparna
