Stylidium caricifolium
10 seed
"Milkmaids"
Drought tolerant and frost hardy.
It grows as a perennial herb, 15-50cm high, leaves tufted, linear to narrowly oblanceolate, 7-32 cm long, 1-5 mm wide.
Flowers are white.
Stylidium is a genus of about 130 species, most of which occur in Australia with a few being found in Asia. They are known as "trigger plants" because of the unique, irritable flower column which is triggered by insect visitors. The trigger remains cocked until an insect probes the flower and then springs upwards and deposits pollen on the back of the insect which then transfers the pollen to another flower.
