Illecebrum verticillatum (Caryophyllaceae), a new record for Australia
WILSON, PAUL G.

In October 1996 a small alien herb, Illecebrum verticillatum L., was found on Big Rock, near Dunsborough, Western Australia. It was collected by Ralf Ohlemueller (Ohlemueller 252), a visiting botanist from Munich, who was studying the plants occurring on granite outcrops in this State.
