They are, therefore, homologous with the sessile glands hereafter to be described on the leaves of Dionaea and Drosophyllum. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
Nevertheless, the glands of Drosophyllum, without being stimulated, continually secrete, so as to replace the loss by evaporation. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference

These probably sink down besmeared with the secretion and rest on the small sessile glands, which, if we may judge by the analogy of Drosophyllum, then pour forth their secretion and afterwards absorb the digested matter. From Wordnik.com. [Insectivorous Plants] Reference
In the case of Drosera, an insect sticking to one or more of the exterior glands is carried by their movement to the centre of the leaf; with Drosophyllum, this is effected by the crawling of the insect, as from its wings being clogged by the secretion it cannot fly away.
