Murchisonia
Genus of flowering plants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Murchisonia was a genus of perennial herbs in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Lomandroideae.[1]
There were two known species.[2][3] In 2016, both were recognized as closely related to Thysanotus species, therefore Murchisonia was merged into Thysanotus.[4] The two recognized species were:
- Murchisonia fragrans Brittan – now Thysanotus fragrans (Brittan) Sirisena, Conran & T.Macfarlane, endemic to Western Australia
- Murchisonia volubilis Brittan – now Thysanotus exfimbriatus Sirisena, Conran & T.Macfarlane, native to Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory
