Stylidium cordifolium
Stylidium cordifolium is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus "Stylidium" (family Stylidiaceae). It is an erect annual plant that grows from 15 to 45 cm tall. Obovate or orbicular leaves, about 8-40 per plant, are scattered along the stems. The leaves are generally 3.5–8 mm long and about as wide. This species lacks a scape but has cymose inflorescences that are 4–13 cm long. Flowers are pink or red. "S. cordifolium" is found throughout tropical Australia, including northern Western Australia, in its typical habitat of swamp margins or moist sandy creekbanks. It flowers in the southern hemisphere from March to August. "S. cordifolium" is most closely related to "S. javanicum", which has smaller leaves, sepals, capsules, and seeds. "S. javanicum" and "S. cordifolium" also differ in their distribution with "S. javanicum"'s range not extending to Australia. Its conservation status has been assessed as data deficient.
