Yes both may occur in the same area .
A while ago Stylidium armeria subsp. armeria was included in a loosely broad taxonomic concept of S. graminifolium .
I have added the relevant information to the species pages here in NatureMapr, hence see:
• Stylidium armeria subsp. armeria
• Stylidium graminifolium
• and so on such as Stylidium montanum .

Great photos, JaneR!

I've been thinking of setting up a 'Terraquarium' for observing some of the local frogs, basically a glass tank, with back & front separated to a middling height, so that the back section has terrestial plants and the front is a water environment. That would work brilliantly for these types of photos.
Thanks for the references. Some interesting differences between the 2 plants depicted at sightings 4197436 and 4424808, though they share the same botanic name. I guess another illustration of that is Brassica oleracea which, as edible plants go, comes in all shapes, forms & sizes, from kale to brussels, cauliflower to broccoli; notwithstanding thousands of years of human influence in this example.

All the best Jane, and thanks for all your info, it's been great to 'meet you',

Cheers,

MazzV
