Apron triggerplant

Image of <i>Stylidium obtusatum</i> Sond.

Description:

A tiny trigger plant, discovered and described by Rica Erickson in the 1950's. It wasn't seen again until 2007. I took a photo last year and we have been searching for this elusive plant this October with some success. It grows to 8cm. This photo shows three stages of the plant. Top photo as it is about to flower, middle flower has flowered and closed and the bottom photo is fully in flower.Photo: Fred
