The Story
Byblis is a small genus of carnivorous plants, sometimes termed the rainbow plants for the attractive appearance of their mucilage-covered leaves in bright sunshine.
Byblis species look very similar to Drosera and Drosophyllum, but are distinguished by their flowers, with five curved stamens off to one side of the pistil. These genera are in fact not closely related.
All species of the genus form upright growth supported by a fibrous root system.
Type: Annual, carnivorous
Height: 50cm, 20"
Location: Sun
Seeds per packet: 5
