Stylidium
''Stylidium'' (also known as triggerplants or trigger plants) is a genus of dicotyledonous plants that belong to the family Stylidiaceae. The genus name ''Stylidium'' is derived from the Greek ''στύλος'' or ''stylos'' (column or pillar), which refers to the distinctive reproductive structure that its flowers possess. Pollination is achieved through the use of the sensitive "trigger", which comprises the male and female reproductive organs fused into a floral column that snaps forward quickly in response to touch, harmlessly covering the insect in pollen. Most of the approximately 300 species are only found in Australia, making it the fifth largest genus in that country. Triggerplants are considered to be protocarnivorous or carnivorous because the glandular trichomes that cover the scape and flower can trap, kill, and digest small insects with protease enzymes produced by the plant. Recent research has raised questions as to the status of protocarnivory within ''Stylidium. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Stylidium Austrocapense
''Stylidium austrocapense'' is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus ''Stylidium'' (family Stylidiaceae). The specific epithet ''austrocapense'' refers to this species' native range on the southern part of Cape York Peninsula in Australia. It is an herbaceous annual plant that grows from 9 to 18 cm tall. Oblanceolate or elliptical leaves, about 4-40 per plant, form a basal rosette with stems absent. The leaves are generally 7.5–31 mm long and 2–10 mm wide. This species produces 1-10 scapes per plant that are glandular-hairy. Inflorescences are 9–18 cm long and produce pink or red flowers that bloom from April to July in their native range. ''S. austrocapense'' is endemic to the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia. Its typical habitat has been reported as coarse white sandy soils on low hills or intermittent watercourses. Dominant vegetation in association with its habitat include ''Eucalyptus tetrodonta'', '' E. clarksoniana'', ''Me ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stylidium Asymmetricum
''Stylidium asymmetricum'', the asymmetric triggerplant, is a flowering plant species of the genus ''Stylidium'' and is endemic to south-west Western Australia. It is an annual plant from high that grows at the margins of swamps in clay soils. It is only known from two populations in the Northern Jarrah Forest south-west of York and thus it was listed as Priority Two (poorly known taxa) under the Declared Rare and Priority Flora List The Declared Rare and Priority Flora List is the system by which Western Australia's conservation flora are given a priority. Developed by the Government of Western Australia's Department of Environment and Conservation, it was used extensively wi ... and more work is necessary to determine the population stability and existing threats, such as feral pigs and off-road vehicles, to the plants. The species epithet ''asymmetricum'' refers to the marked asymmetrical corolla arrangement, where the uppermost posterior lobe and the uppermost anterior lobe ...

Stylidium Armeria
''Stylidium armeria'', the thrift-leaved triggerplant, is a species of ''Stylidium'' that is native to Australia. It is an herbaceous perennial that grows from 50 to 100 cm tall. Narrowly lanceolate to narrowly oblanceolate leaves, about 15–40 mm long, are tufted at the base and are erect to spreading. Inflorescences produce 25–100 dark pink-magenta flowers that bloom August to February in its native range.Raulings, EJ and Ladiges, PY. (2001).
