Q: Byblis: range and conservation status
B. gigantea
B. gigantea
A: Byblis gigantea and Byblis lamellata are
found only in the Perth region of West Australia.
As they are species with restricted ranges, they are at somewhat elevated conservation risk to to
habitat destruction from urban sprawl.
Byblis liniflora occurs in a large area of northern Australia and in southern New Guinea. The rest of the
species in the Byblis liniflora complex live in a swath of land in northwestern Western Australia,
near Kununurra and Darwin.
