Stylidium trichopodum

Species of carnivorous plant

Stylidium trichopodum is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus Stylidium. It is an annual plant that grows from 6 to 20 cm tall. The linear leaves, about 20-200 per plant, are scattered along the elongate, glabrous stems. The leaves are generally 3–9 mm long and 0.2-0.7 mm wide. Petioles are absent. This species produces 1-10 scapes per plant. Inflorescences are 2.6–6 cm long and produce a single yellow or orange flower that blooms in June and July in the southern hemisphere. S. trichopodum is endemic to northern Queensland and is only known from a few populations. Its habitat is recorded as being moist sandy soils on flat or gently sloping terrain, sometimes in areas dominated by Melaleuca species. S. trichopodum is most closely related to S. pedunculatum, though it differs by its much larger flower and its cauline leaves instead of terminal rosettes for S. pedunculatum.
