Glischrocaryon flavescens is a perennial herb with woody roots that occurs in southern and western Australia.
The species was first described by James Drummond,
I also met with a very handsome Loudonia, which I call L. flavescens; it is a much larger plant than L. aurea (Lindl.), and throws up numerous flower-stalks to the height of five or six feet, with sulphur-coloured flowers; but the seed-vessels are almost white. It grew in a spot which appears to have been formely a lake. L. aurea scarcely produces any mature seed. L. fiavescens perfects seeds in abundance.[2]
The current combination, Glischrocaryon flavescens, was the result of a revision by Anthony Edward Orchard in 1970,[3] published in the journal Taxon.[1]
