Byblis pilbarana

A small carnivorous rainbow plant up to 15 cm tall from the semi-arid Pilbara near Port Hedland, Western Australia, with lavender flowers. It grows in damp spots during the hot summer wet season; like its northern relatives it is probably a short-lived annual best treated as a seed-grown hot-season plant.
