Byblis pilbarana is a carnivorous species which is native to Western Australia in a semi-arid desert, and fits niches where there is enough water to survive.

Byblis pilbarana can be up to 15 cm tall. The blooms can be up to 1.5 across. The plant tends to stay erect, or use other plants for support. The color of the plant is bright green, but can have a red tint in harsh light. The colors of the flowers are lavender or light violet. It is similar in appearance to Byblis filifolia and Byblis rorida.

Byblis is a small genus of carnivorous plants, sometimes termed the rainbow plants for the attractive appearance of their mucilage-covered leaves in bright sunshine.

Byblis species look very similar to Drosera and Drosophyllum, but are distinguished by their flowers, with five curved stamens off to one side of the pistil. These genera are in fact not closely related.

All species of the genus form upright growth supported by a fibrous root system.

The surface of the leaves is densely studded with glandular hairs which secrete a mucilaginous substance from their tip. These serve to attract small insects, which upon touching the sticky secretions are ensnared. Unless they are strong enough to escape, the insect prey either die of exhaustion or asphyxiate as the mucilage envelops them. Unlike the sundews, however, Byblis can move neither their tentacles nor the leaves themselves to aid trapping or digestion. As a result, they are grouped among the "passive flypaper traps" along with Pinguicula, Drosophyllum, Roridula, Stylidium and Triphyophyllum peltatum.

Along with the stalked mucilaginous glands, the leaves are also equipped with sessile glands, which assumedly are responsible for the secretion of the digestive juices. Sessile glands are five to ten times as numerous as the stalked glands.

Like many carnivorous plants, Byblis species usually grow in bogs and marshes. They generally prefer seasonally wet sandy soil in partial or direct sunlight with temperatures between ~ 5-40 C (40-105 F).

As native plants of Australia, all Byblis species are protected. Due to the sensitivity of the plant, interest in the genus has been restricted to a small portion of the carnivorous plant hobbyist community. The majority of plant material sold today is produced in cultivation. Most species must be grown from seed.
