Drosera aliciae is a perennial carnivorous plant with a few, fairly thin, long roots. Wedge- to spoon-shaped leaves, up to 25 mm long and 7 mm wide, are tightly packed to form a dense, clumping basal rosette, 15-400 mm high. Leaves are often reddish and similar in size and are covered with reddish, sticky, glandular hairs.
