"Stylidium floribundum" is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus "Stylidium" (family Stylidiaceae). It is an herbaceous annual plant that grows from 7 to 18 cm tall. Oblanceolate or obovate leaves, about 6-30 per plant, form a basal rosette with stems absent. The leaves are generally 8-48 mm long and 4-11 mm wide. This species produces 1-20 scapes per plant. Inflorescences are 7-18 cm long and produce pink or yellow flowers that bloom from May to September in their native range. "S. floribundum"'s distribution ranges from the Kimberley region of Western Australia across northern Australia to northwestern Queensland. Its typical habitat has been reported as sandy soils on swampy flats or creekbeds. Dominant vegetation in association with its habitat include "Melaleuca" or "Eucalyptus" species. "S. floribundum" is most closely related to "S. inaequipetalum".Bean, A.R. (1999). A revision of "Stylidium" sect. "Debilia" Mildbr., "S." sect. "Floodia" Mildbr. and "S." sect.
