    • found: Work cat.: Leigh, C. Lippia (Phyla canescens) in Queensland, c2004:pp. 2-3 (Members of the genus Phyla in Australia underwent a full taxonomic revision by the South Australian Herbarium (Munir 1993) after many years of attempted revision. Following this revision, there are now two distinct species of the genus recognised as occurring in Australia. These are P. canescens (common name: lippia) and P. nodiflora (common name: phyla weed). The two species have historically been considered synonyms; many of the reports prior to 1993 of lippia in Australia are very likely to be about P. canescens, rather than P. nodiflora, as stated in the literature of the time. In fact, Munir (1993) states that all prior recordings of P. nodiflora specimens for South Australia and Victoria are now recognised as P. canescens; common names of this species include lippia, carpet weed, Condamine couch, Condamine curse, fog fruit, frog fruit, mat grass and no-mow grass)
