How Can We Help?
Stylidium productum is a small plant found in eastern Australia. Common in the Sydney region,[1][2] it grows on soils derived from Hawkesbury sandstone.
Flowers appear in spring and summer, having five pink petals, but one is very small.[3]
Pollination
Stylidium productum features an unusual form of pollination.
The style and two anthers strike insects landing on the flower, which are then showered with pollen.
