'''''Stylidium adnatum''''', commonly known as the '''common beaked triggerplant''',<ref name=FB>{{FloraBase|name=''Stylidium adnatum''|id=7678}}</ref> is a species of flowering plant in the family [Stylidiaceae](/source/Stylidiaceae) and is [endemic](/source/endemic) to the [southwest of Western Australia](/source/Southwest_Australia).

This species is leafy-stemmed and scrambling, growing up to 10&nbsp;cm tall with leaves that are 3&nbsp;cm long and 5&nbsp;mm wide. It blooms in late winter and spring with small (3–4&nbsp;mm wide) white flowers that bear red stripes.<ref name="Darnowski">Darnowski, Douglas W. (2002). ''Triggerplants''. Australia: Rosenberg Publishing.</ref> ''S. adnatum'' is primarily found in [jarrah](/source/Eucalyptus_marginata) and [karri](/source/Eucalyptus_diversicolor) forests, among reeds of [paperbark](/source/Melaleuca) swamps, and in [heath](/source/Heath_(habitat)) by streams entering the ocean.<ref name="Rica0">Erickson, Rica. (1958). ''Triggerplants''. Perth: Paterson Brokensha Pty. Ltd. 97-98.</ref> ''S. adnatum'' is also commonly found in the wild, growing along cleared [firebreaks](/source/Firebreak) in the [Porongurup](/source/Porongurup_National_Park) ranges'','' indicating that it is tolerant to ground disturbance. It has been cultivated by members of the [W.A. Wildflower Society](/source/Wildflower_Society_of_Western_Australia) (a [not-for-profit](/source/Nonprofit_organization) group) in [Landsdale](/source/Landsdale%2C_Western_Australia),<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wildflowersocietywa.org.au/branches/northern-suburbs-branch/|title=Northern Suburbs Branch – Wildflower Society of Western Australia|website=www.wildflowersocietywa.org.au|language=en-AU|access-date=2018-09-25}}</ref> where it can be purchased by the public. It is easily propagated by [cuttings](/source/Cutting_(plant)) and is robust in culture, although it can suffer from sucking insects such as scale. It has been found to grow well as an indoor potted plant near a well-lit window with indirect or partial sun. Taken together, these two pieces of information indicate that it would make a good commercial houseplant, possibly capturing the sector of the market fascinated by touch-stimulated plants such as [venus fly](/source/Venus_flytrap) traps or [mimosa](/source/Mimosa_pudica).

''Stylidium adnatum'' [var.](/source/Variety_(biology)) ''abbreviatum'' ([Benth.](/source/George_Bentham), 1868) is a variety of this species found in wild populations and is noted for its short and dense [inflorescence](/source/inflorescence). The variety was discovered and named twice, the second being ''S. adnatum'' var. ''propinquum'' ([R.Br.](/source/Robert_Brown_(botanist%2C_born_1773))), though this name is no longer used.<ref name="Rica0" /><ref name="FloraBase">FloraBase, the Western Australia Flora.
