Glischrocaryon flavescens is a perennial herb with woody roots that occurs in southern and western Australia.
The species was first described by James Drummond,
I also met with a very handsome Loudonia, which I call L. flavescens; it is a much larger plant than L. aurea (Lindl.), and throws up numerous flower-stalks to the height of five or six feet, with sulphur-coloured flowers; but the seed-vessels are almost white. It grew in a spot which appears to have been formely a lake. L. aurea scarcely produces any mature seed. L. fiavescens perfects seeds in abundance.[2]
The current combination, Glischrocaryon flavescens, was the result of a revision by Anthony Edward Orchard in 1970,[3] published in the journal Taxon.[1]
A robust and tufted perennial herbaceous plant with creamy yellow inflorescence at long scapes that appears in February or between August and December. Grows to a height between 0.3 and 1.5 metres. Occurs in clay in sandy soil, but often stony; preferred habitat is plains and rocky hills.[4]
The species is recorded in the plant censuses of South Australia and Western Australia, with occurrence becoming infrequent to the north and arid centre of Australia.[5] Records in Western Australia are at the southwest and eremaean botanical provinces.[4]
The plant attracts the parrot species, moyadong (Platycercus icterotis)[6]
