• Southern Africa
• Drosera
  slackii
• Drosera
  regia
• Drosera
  glabripes
• Drosera

A: South Africa, Lesotho, and Swaziland are discussed here. All other parts of Africa, including Madagascar and the Seychelles, are simply indicated as "northern Africa."

Before we get to the large genera for South Africa, I note that Genlisea hispidula (and others?) occurs in the region. Also, the genus Roridula is endemic here.

Drosera
This is a big pile of species. Mostly a bunch of rosetted species, identifying them can be extremely difficult.

• Utricularia
  subulata
• Utricularia
  sandersonii
• Utricularia
  gibba
• Utricularia
  bisquamata

Utricularia
Africa has a good number--about twenty--species in this genus.
