A new species of Wurmbea, W. fluviatilis T. Macfarlane & A. Case, is described and illustrated with photographs and a distribution map. The new species is known from only three populations from the Gascoyne River catchment in the region of Mount Augustus, growing on river banks and beside riverside pools. It is a relatively tall, attractive species with bi-coloured flowers.Free PDF download of the paper here.
Flowers look rather similiar to the South African Wurmbea stricta, long known as Dipidax or Onixotis.
