I've included as complete a list that I could find from the literature. This website (in German) lists every name known include vars., but many of the species names are synonyms of other established species, so the list in the article contains most of those. That's why the total is 316, but from most reports I read there are only approximately 230 species. I've also included some species that were reported in early literature (1920s) that may have been renamed or moved to a different genus after further phylogenetic study. I've also been adding common names as I run across them. I plan to go back, species by species, and remove the synonyms from the list and place them in parenthesis next to the most common name. This can be difficult, though, as google isn't very forthcoming with hits for these species names. And the difference between Stylidium leptorhizum and Stylidium leptorrhizum, for example, appears to only be preferential spelling, though one is reported to have a var. pilosum while the other doesn't. I'll continue on. Feel free to help. Rkitko 10:50, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
An excellent, well-written and well-referenced article. My only suggestion would be to try to find a photo that gives a better idea of the appearance of the plants. TimVickers 02:24, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I went through the article and made various changes, please look them over. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good Article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would be a good idea to update the access dates for all of the online sources. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 03:16, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
I added a photo of a flower in the act of hitting a fly, which I thought would be compelling for this page. It was removed because there are already pictures of the pollinator (although none of it "in action"). Its not the highest quality scan around, but it looks reasonable at this resolution and is otherwise technically good. I appropriate that there are already a lot of (very good) photos on this page, so I wont add it back right away without a discussion here. ErikHaugen ( talk) 21:10, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
This section was a bit speculative. I think it is less so now - I 'tidied' a few sentences. One described the fact that some Stylidium species occur in the same ecosystems as some other carnivorous plants. This is very weak - growing nearby is not evidence of shared strategy. In fact, both Drosera and Stylidium species are so numerous and widespread in (temperate at least) Australian plant communities that a huge number (almost all?) of other Australian terrestrial plant species are likely to have at least one species from each genus growing nearby - and by this logic are carnivorous. The second paragraph described a four year old abstract of an oral paper, there needs to be better referencing than this to make this point - surely the paper is published by now, preferably in a peer reviewed journal (not self published by the author). + the paragraph was about the abstract, not the carnivory.
I also removed a sentence on the triggerplant society as it is stated to be inactive. Bpinab ( talk) 09:04, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
