"Stylidium inconspicuum" is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus "Stylidium" (family Stylidiaceae). It is an annual plant that grows from 5 to 20 cm tall. Obovate or elliptical leaves, about 5-30 per plant, are scattered along the elongate, glabrous stem. The leaves are generally 4-8 mm long and 2-5 mm wide. Petioles and scapes are absent. Inflorescences are 5-8 cm long and produce pink or red flowers. "S. inconspicuum" is endemic to Java and is one of the few "Stylidium" species that are not native to Australia. Its habitat is recorded as being moist areas in grass-dominated fields at an altitude of 20-30 metres.Bean, A.R. (2000). A revision of "Stylidium" subg. "Andersonia" (R.Br. ex G.Don) Mildbr.
