Sundew \Sun"dew`\, n. (Bot.)
Any plant of the genus Drosera, low bog plants whose leaves
are beset with pediceled glands which secrete a viscid fluid
that glitters like dewdrops and attracts and detains insects.
After an insect is caught, the glands curve inward like
tentacles and the leaf digests it. Called also {lustwort}.
