I find this Stylidium quite grand as it can grow to nearly 1m tall with its yellow flowers up the flowering spike. The rosette of leaves at the base are unique with a membranous edge to the leaf. "Etymology. The specific epithet is taken from the Greek (hymen membranous, craspedus margined) in reference to the conspicuous hyaline leaf margin." Stylidium hymenocraspedum WegeNuytsia 16:250-252 (2006)Here the plant was growing in the open full sun on a gravel track. I like the way the leaves looked just like the skin on our 'bob-tail' lizards. The colours were really amazing. Photo: Jean

Stylidium hymenocraspedum WegeNuytsia 16:250-252 (2006)We always thought only one flower spike grew from each rosette each year but found that multiple flower spikes can grow from one rosette. This one had 9 flower spikes. Photo: Jean

This bee visited many flowers, most flowers hitting the bee on its thorax with its irritable trigger before the bee moved onto another flower. Most of the time the bee moved on to a new flower very quickly. We noticed a couple of times that the trigger missed the bee, trapping it on the flower for a short while until it rolled over releasing itself from under the trigger. We saw two of these bees visiting the flowers Thyreus cf. waroonensisa cuckoo bee of Amegilla sp.

Many native bees were attracted to the flowers while we were there. Some too small to trigger the flower. This plant can grow up to 90cm and have leaves 30cm and often grows in a variety of soils.
