Stylidium hymenocraspedum P3

Image of Stylidium hymenocraspedum Wege

Description:

I find this Stylidium quite grand as it can grow to nearly 1m tall with its yellow flowers up the flowering spike. The rosette of leaves at the base are unique with a membranous edge to the leaf. "Etymology. The specific epithet is taken from the Greek (hymen membranous, craspedus margined) in reference to the conspicuous hyaline leaf margin." Stylidium hymenocraspedum WegeNuytsia 16:250-252 (2006)The plants often grow among other plants. Here the rosette of leaves is green as it doesn't receive much sunlight to turn it orange.
