Botanical history
Drosera subhirtella was first described by Jules Émile Planchon in 1848. A new variety of D. subhirtella, var. moorei, was described by Ludwig Diels in his 1906 monograph on the Droseraceae. In 1982, N. G. Marchant changed the variety to a subspecies and there the taxon stood until Allen Lowrie elevated it to species rank at D. moorei in 1999.Schlauer, J. 2009.
