Botanical print of <i><a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stylidium_dichotomum" title="Stylidium dichotomum">Stylidium dichotomum</a></i> (pins-and-needles triggerplant) from <i>Flore des serres et des jardins de l’Europe</i> (1850, volume 6, plate 606) by Charles Lemaire. The print notes that this image is <i>Stylidium mucronifolium</i>. <i>S. mucronifolium</i> Sond. was reduced to synonymy of <i>S. leptophyllum</i> var. <i>mucronifolium</i> E.Pritzel. Mildbraed (1908) reduced both <i>S. mucronifolium</i> Hook. and <i>S. leptophyllum</i> var. <i>mucronifolium</i> E.Pritzel to synonymy with <i>S. dichotomum</i> DC., hence the identification of this image as <i><b>Stylidium dichotomum</b></i>.
