Abstract
After examining the morphology, anatomy, pollen and cytology of the Australian species of Wurmbea and A nguillaria and comparing them with African species of Wurmbea I concluded that all are congeneric, despite carpel differences between African and Aus- tralian species, and should be called Wurmbea Thunberg. Descriptions, illustrations, distri- bution maps and a key are given for the 18 Australian species. New taxa are: W. dioica subsp. alba, W. dilatata, W. latifolia, W. humilis, W. odorata, W. inframediana, W. deser- ticola, W. centralis, W. sinora and W. cernua. New combinations are: W. monantha (Endl.) comb, nov., W. biglandulosa (R.Br.) comb, nov., W. uniflora (R.Br.) comb. nov. and W. densiflora (Benth.) comb. nov.
