Purple donkey orchids (Diuris punctata) and Trigger plants (Stylidium sp.) on the edge of Croajingalong National Park, East Gippsland, VIC. Most of the trigger plants out here were this very attractive pale-flowering form with tall flower spikes.

Close up of a single pink Triggerplant flower showing four petals and the sensitive column coming from the throat of the flower. The end of the column is visible showing a wider end with brush like tips
Stylidium tenue - Little Fountain Triggerplant
Look closely at a triggerplant and you’ll spot the flower’s sensitive column, carrying both the anther & stigma at the end. The anther develops first, the stigma develops after the anther shrivels 🌿🌱

A cluster of small yellowy orange flowers each with four petals and a deeper orange ring around the centre of the flower. The flowers have a column that comes from the centre and curves around the back of the petals, this is the ‘trigger’

Stylidium thesioides - Delicate Triggerplant
Another of the Triggerplants endemic to Western Australia, the Delicate Triggerplant flowers in late spring. This one was seen in a winter wetland area.

It feels like it’s been a bumper year for Triggerplants (Stylidium sp.) this year, so a few #Stylidium posts seems appropriate.
First up is Stylidium recurvum, which has put on an amazing display in the Perth Hills this year!

I thought I saw Corn but no it’s just #Stylidium zeicolor, the Maize Triggerplant! This yellow flowered species is common through the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, and Mallee region, in a variety of habitat types!
What a stunning species #Stylidium caricifolium, The Milkmaid Triggerplants, one of the large flowered Triggerplants! This grassy leaved species I common in the wheatbelt area as well as northwards to the Geraldton sandplains in a variety of different habitats!
The fuzzy thick leaves emerging out of dormancy of #Stylidium pycnostachyum the downy triggerplant! Common in the Northern Jarrah Forests to Jurian Bay
These delicate green leaves come from #Stylidium thesioides! One that’s often found in wet areas, this one near a creek lines and other winter wet areas!
#Stylidium brunonianum or #Stylidium tenue, thinking possibly the latter! Both have glaucous leaves and pink flowers with a strongly hooked floral column that punched downwards
This one could be #Stylidium piliferum or any of the related ones with strongly rosetted plants these ones are really cute I feel, they look like mini Agave
This lovely foliage is from #Stylidium amoenum, the Lovelt Triggerplant! A very widespread species you can’t walk anywhere in the jarrah forest without seeing one!
These ones are #Stylidium diuroides, a rosette of needle shaped leaves! Widespread species found on sandy and lateritic soils
Not quite #Stylidium season but get to admire the plants! Not just diverse in flowers but also habit! Many stylidiums go dormant in summer only burst into growth during winter, moving from underground roots, to dense smaller leaves to their signature growth habit in winter!
Stylidium debile, the frail trigger plant, is endemic to coastal areas in Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. Trigger plants are best known for their unusual method of smacking insects with their pollen.

The matted Triggerplant #Stylidium repens, is a tiny creeping species of Triggerplant. It creeps along forming stilt roots that allow it to grow above the soil! They produce white to pink flowers that can flower twice a year! Often profusely!
The Golden Triggerplant! #Stylidium ciliatum! One of many S. piliferum complex! 15 species are within this complex and all share the dense “basin-like” rosette and are all endemic to WA! That being said I could have the wrong species 😅
Ooops wrong ID #Stylidium adpressum
You can’t walk anywhere in the Jarrah forests without seeing one of these #Stylidium amoenum, if there was an icon for Stylidiums I would say these take the title! But then again there’s just soooo many Stylidiums! #Stylidiaceae #WildOz
By looks of this it’s #Stylidium sp. Boulders Rock, a yet to be officially described species that has a place name for now!
Came across these on the farm during the week. Stylidium graminifolium (I think!), a type of trigger plant, growing on open, clay-heavy ground that was plantation, non-native forestry. It's surrounded by remnant rainforest and is slowly rewilding. #lutruwita #rewilding #stylidium #triggerplants
#Stylidium debile is a small carnivorous plant from the east coastal region of Australia. While its leaves do not capture insects, the sticky glands on its inflorescences do.
