Speaking of Calostemmas by the Billabong.

I don't know if the taxonomy of Calostemma has been sorted out. There was a time when purple Callostemmas were considered to be forms of luteum. Look after your populations. Too many plants which grew like weeds when I was a child and were taken for granted have disappeared under development.

Calostemna purpureum is a weed near here but is not up at the moment There
is a patch also of a pale form among the population.
Don't know if it would cope up north.
