Summary[edit] Description: Native, cool season, perennial herb usually 30–40 cm tall, but up to 70 cm. Leaves are erect grass-like, basally tufted, linear and 5–25 cm long. Flowerheads are racemes up to half the length of the scape. Flowers are shortly pedicellate, 5–10 mm long and pale to bright pink; the labellum is narrowed to a rounded point at apex; the column is reflexed behind the petals and is stimulated by an insect alighting on the flower, which causes the column to spring over and descend with a hammer-like action to spread pollen on the insect or, when the stigma is receptive, to receive pollen from the other plants red; anthers and ovaries are glandular. Flowering is from late spring to mid-summer. Most common in dry sclerophyll forests with nutrient-poor soils. Date: 19 January 2005, 10:43. Source: Stylidium graminifolium fruit2.

Stylidiaceae: Stylidium emarginatumThis is a series of two photos. This photo shows the plant's labellum, a special part which helps to align the trigger to sit in its correct position.The other photo shows the flower from the top with its trigger set waiting for an insect to land to feed on nectar. Once the insect lands in the correct place, the sensitive trigger flies over, hitting the insect on its back, depositing pollen.
Stylidium beaugleholei is a tiny trigger plant growing in wetlands. Their column (trigger) is always in an upright position with a tiny labellum projecting behind. The flower often has a blush of pink on the petals. Notice that the petals are different sizes, the closest to the labellum are small, where the others are longer.Photo: Fred
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.A small population of these plants down among the annuals. Photo: Fred
Donatia novae-zelandiae (Snow Cushionplant) going to seed in the Hartz Mountains National Park, Tasmania. The fruit of this species appears to be a pyxidium - meaning that the capsule dehiscence is circumscissile.
