|discussion=<p><i>Drosera filiformis</i> is disjunct in the outer Coastal Plain, from Nova Scotia and Connecticut to Maryland, southeastern North Carolina, and Bay and Washington counties, Florida. The species has been reported from South Carolina, but no specimens from there have been seen. It is introduced in Caroline County, Virginia, and Preston County, West Virginia, and possibly other localities peripheral to its range; it is short-lived in some localities. B. A. Sorrie (1998b) gave a detailed account of the distribution and habitats of <i>D. filiformis</i> as well as convincing evidence that <i>D. tracyi</i> is a distinct species.</p><!--
--><p>The species is very easy to cultivate, and the cormose-based clumps multiply and may be divided while dormant.</p>
