Drosera spatulata the spoon-leaved sundew is a variable, rosette-forming sundew with spoon-shaped leaves -the specific epithet is Latin for "spatula shaped" - a reference to the form of the leaves. This sundew has a large range and occurs naturally throughout south-east Asia, in southern China and Japan, Micronesia, New Guinea through to the eastern territories of Australia and Tasmania and New Zealand. Variants are often known by the localities in which they are found. The plant does not form hibernacula in winter, and is easily grown using the same methods as Drosera capensis.

Carnivorous plant growers consider Drosera spatulata to be a weed because it is very hardy and produces large amounts of seed when it flowers. The seeds also germinate without much difficulty, causing little plants to pop up in surrounding pots.

In 2009, Drosera spatulata var. bakoensis was described from Bako National Park in Sarawak, Borneo.
