Drosera whittakeri is found in Australia, and grows plentifully on the hills near Adelaide. The tuber of this plant consists of an inner solid but soft nucleus full of reddish sap or juice, and an outer series of easily detached thin, and more or less dry, layers of an almost black material. Between these layers are to be found small quantities of a brilliant red colouring matter, the amount varying in tubers of different size and age, but apparently more plentiful in the older plants (Rennie, Chem. Soc. Trans., 1887, 51, 371; 1893, 63, 1083).

The colouring matter is extracted from the tubers by means of hot alcohol, the solution evaporated, and the residue, containing a little alcohol, is then mixed with water and allowed to stand. The product is dried, sublimed, and the brilliant vermilion powder, which contains two substances, is fractionally crystallised from boiling alcohol, or acetic acid.
