Grass Trigger

Stylidium graminifolium

Notes:

This species is an erect perennial herb that grows in nutrient poor soil. According to Wikipedia, "it has been considered to be a carnivorous or protocarnivorous plant because it possesses glandular trichomes underneath the flowers that can trap and digest prey... S. graminifolium has one of the widest ranges in the Stylidium genus, extending from Tasmania to Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland over to South Australia." This specimen was in the Marcoola section of the Mount Coolum National Park.
