Byblis gigantea je víceletá rostlina v přírodě dorůstající až 60 cm.
Teplota se pohybuje kolem 16-40°C. Byblis aquatica roste ve velmi omezené oblasti v Severních Teritoriích v jemném jílovitém písku, v době dešťů ve vodou zaplavovaných prohlubních a na březích sladkovodních jezírek v mělké vodě.

  Byblis (plant) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Byblis is a small genus of carnivorous plants, sometimes termed the rainbow plants for the attractive appearance of their mucilage-covered leaves in bright sunshine.
Byblis species look very similar to Drosophyllum, but are distinguished by their zygomorphic flowers, with five curved stamens off to one side of the pistil.
These genera are in fact is not closely related; modern classifications place Byblis in the Lamiales, while the sundews are now placed in the Caryophyllales.

 CPN Samples
This question of carnivory for Byblis liniflora was of special interest to me since I had visited some north Australian habitats with my wife Irmgard, and we demonstrated a mutualism involving Capsid bug species (Miridae) and Byblis liniflora on our video (Hartmeyer and Hartmeyer 1995).
If the tests proved that Byblis does not produce enzymes and also shows the same symbiosis with closely related Capsid bugs, a new discussion by the experts about the assignment of the Rainbow Plant as a CP would be necessary.
Byblis, Darlingtonia, Heliamphora) may not be classified carnivorous anymore, or if the definition for a true CP must be reformed to allow for enzyme-free, and passive predigestion by symbiotes.

The two tales are linked more profoundly still in their interest in the erotic potential of art, and especially art’s capacity to achieve one’s desires.

 Michael Zenner's Carnivorous Plants
Byblis, or the Rainbow Plant, is a lovely, branched stem plant that looks similar to some Drosera species, in that the leaves are covered in tentacles which secrete a substance which attracts, captures, and digests prey.
Byblis differs from Drosera in being what is called a "passive flypaper" trap.
Byblis, in my experience, also tends to trap a slightly different type of insect than Drosera, which seems to feed mainly on gnats, very small flies, and the occasional mosquito hawk.
