Byblis liniflora subsp. occidentalis from Kununurra,
Western Australia.
Two plants are pictured here next to a Byblis gigantea
which is actually the smaller plant on the right. These plants
are about seven months old and eventually reached nearly 3 feet
tall. The flowers are nearly as large as those on
B. gigantea
and are distinctly yellow (or occassionally) white on the
backside. This plant enjoys slightly dryer soil conditions than
Byblis liniflora "TYPE" .

TEXT:{
Byblis liniflora from "Darwin", Northern Territory.
This is a very small variety of Byblis liniflora with leaves
barely 5cm long. In full sun, the plant becomes a very deep red
color. It usually only has one flower open at a time. It enjoys
wet feet in sand/peat mixture and FULL SUN, unlike the typical
Byblis liniflora. The seeds are also much larger than other
Byblis liniflora varieties. This form is not presently
classified as a unique subspecies.

TEXT:{
Byblis gigantea TYPE from seed collected just south of
Perth, Western Australia.
Plant is seen here about 7 months old in early summer growth.
Temperature about 75-90 degrees day, 65-70 night. Growing in
sand/perlite/peat which is dry at surface but moist below (watered
from tray but not standing in water.)
This form is generally smaller than the northern forms from
"Cataby" and "Eneabba" and with smaller flowers. It's glands are,
however, more closely spaced.
