01Narrative

Stylidium lobuliflorum is a dicotyledonous plant, with a native range is concentrated in and around Kimberley in Western Australia and extends to the Northern Territory. It belongs to the genus Stylidium (family Stylidiaceae) that was described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1859. It is an erect annual plant that grows from 12 to 20 cm tall. Obovate or orbicular leaves, about 4-15 per plant, form basal rosettes. The leaves are generally 6–9.5 mm long and 4–6.5 mm wide. This species generally has one to three scapes and cymose inflorescences that are 12–20 cm long. Flowers are pink or mauve. Its habitat has been reported as being seepage areas, streambanks, sandstone pavement, or sandy depressions. It flowers in the southern hemisphere from April to August. S. lobuliflorum is most closely related to S. schizanthum. Its conservation status has been assessed as secure.Bean, A.R. (2000). A revision of Stylidium subg. Andersonia (R.Br. ex G.Don) Mildbr. (Stylidiaceae). Austrobaileya 5(4): 589-649.

05DNA & barcodingmolecular

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Stylidium lobuliflorum has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceGoaT

The complete instruction manual Stylidium lobuliflorum carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.

Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged

2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.
