Byblis lamellata
A perennial rainbow plant from the sandplains of southwestern Western Australia, with long, glandular, sticky leaves that trap small insects. It grows through the mild, wet winter and spring in open heath and survives the hot, dry summer as a rootstock; it is listed as Vulnerable.
Where it grows wild
