Triodanis leptocarpa, commonly called slimpod Venus' looking-glass,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the bellflower family (Campanulaceae). It is native to the United States, where it is found primarily in the Great Plains and Midwest.[2] Its natural habitat is in dry upland prairies and open rock outcrops. It is tolerant of disturbance and can be found in pastures and roadsides.[3][4]
Triodanis leptocarpa is an herbaceous annual. It can be distinguished from other members of the genus Triodanis by its long, narrow leaves and fruits with a single locule. In addition, the fruits from cleistogamous flowers twist and arch away from the stem. It blooms from May to August.[5]
