A small ephemeral plant which grows in winter wet areas with other Stylidium plants. This plant is very similar to Stylidium emarginatum but has no throat appendages.

Stylidium striatum Grows to 0.55 m high, Leaves in a erect rosette at the base Fl. yellow, Oct to Nov. in a variety of soils.

Stylidium scabridumThese trigger-plants grow in deep white sand. The shiny and reflective petals make it difficult to capture the delicate pink. The beeflies visit and pollinate the flowers.

The Stylidium carlquistii is a very pretty flower to find as the individual flowers are beautiful and distinctive as are the plants. They also grow in clumps together putting on a beautiful show.

Pretty and dainty, these Stylidium vary from white to pink. The white flowers have a lilac bud and lilac markings on the back of the petals. There are 8 throat appendages.Photos: Jean

Stylidium asymmetricum A special trigger plant which only grows in two known locations. It's nickname is 'The Hand' due to it having three petals going one way and one going off in its own direction. This is not usual, as they usually have two petals up and two down with the trigger going between them. Photo: Jean

Stylidium zeicolor A very pretty medium to large trigger plant.

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
