Gently tickling the centre of a flower with a piece of grass can often set the trigger off. The plants are a perennial herb with a thick tuft of leaves, giving the whole plant a grass-like appearance, hence the species name of graminifolium. They are a common summer flowering species in forest habitats at all elevations.<br /> Family: Stylidiaceae &nbsp; Genus: Stylidium &nbsp; Species: graminifolium &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Pink<br />Member - John and ValFri, 20 Feb 2015 08:57:00 GMTStylidium eriopodumhttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/742+stylidium-eriopodumhttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/742+stylidium-eriopodum<a href="https://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/742+stylidium-eriopodum"><img src="https://cdn.exploroz.com/images/GalleryTag_W742__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> Creeping perennial, herb (forming compact clumps to 15 cm wide), elevated above soil on wiry stilt roots up to 6 cm long.

The flowers of Trigger plants have a central touch-sensitive column tucked under the petals. The male and female parts of the flower (anther and stigma) are located at the end of the column. When an insect lands on the flower to feed on the nectar the column is triggered, flicking over and hitting the insect on the back. This action either deposits or collects pollen from the back of the insect, depending on the cycle of the plant. Plants have a flat rosette of elongated leaves at ground level, from which a flowering stem about 30cm grows.<br /> Family: Stylidiaceae &nbsp; Genus: Stylidium &nbsp; Species: unknown &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Pink<br />Member - John and ValThu, 23 Apr 2015 23:45:00 GMT
