Haemodorum collevatum, commonly called the clothesline bloodroot, is named after the iconic Australian Hills Hoist clothesline because the way it produces flowers on long horizontal branches to the plant.[1]
The plant was originally identified as being H. planifolium but, after reviewing collected specimens for this species, the collection was identified as containing four unique species.[1] These new species allied to H. planifolium are Haemodorum brevistylum T.Macfarlane & R.L.Barrett, Haemodorum celsum R.L.Barrett & T.Macfarlane and this Haemodorum collevatum T.Macfarlane & R.L.Barrett.[2]
