- Description
- Byblis gigantea, flowers
- The flowers of Byblis gigantea look symmetrical at first glance. However, we see that the style (white) and the stamens (yellow) curve to use side of the flower. This curvature provides an approach pattern for a bee, orienting it so that it will get showered with pollen or deposit the pollen on the tip of the style.
