This delicate species can be seen in the carnivorous trough in the eastern porch of the Glasshouse Range.
A member of the Stylidiaceae (trigger plant family), the genus Stylidium contains approximately 300 species, most of which occur in Australia. The genus has an unusual mechanism for sharing pollen with visiting insects. Each flower has a floral column of male and female reproductive organs, and this column has a sensitive trigger, which snaps forward when pressure is applied by pollinators, ensuring that the insect is covered in pollen. This species, S. adnatum, is referred to as the common beaked trigger plant, and is endemic to Western Australia, where it grows in damp situations in forests, swamps and heaths. It has narrow leaves, and four-petalled white or pale pink flowers, and grows to 20cm in height.
