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)Here the plant was growing in the open full sun on a gravel track. I like the way the leaves looked just like the skin on our 'bob-tail' lizards. The colours were really amazing. Photo: Jean

Stylidium hymenocraspedum WegeNuytsia 16:250-252 (2006)We always thought only one flower spike grew from each rosette each year but found that multiple flower spikes can grow from one rosette. This one had 9 flower spikes. Photo: Jean
