Stylidium hispidum (the white butterfly triggerplant) is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus Stylidium (family Stylidiaceae). S. hispidum is endemic to Australia and is found primarily in southwest Western Australia near Perth. This species is a basally rosetted triggerplant with greyish, linear leaves growing up to three cm. The scape is reddish, from six to thirty cm tall ending in a somewhat branched raceme giving rise to white or cream-colored flowers, which have red spots near the throat of the flower. The primary habitat for S. hispidum includes jarrah forests, gravelly loams, and light sandy soils.[1]
