Watsonia meriana (bulbil watsonia) is an introduced, stout herb. A garden-escapee, its dense stands have been recorded in bush reserves and along roadsides, throughout the State.  Two variations exist in Tasmania. W. meriana var. bulbillifera is 1-2 m high and produces prominent clusters of bulbils (cormils) along the lower stem. Its flowers are brick-red or salmon-pink, with no seeds. W. meriana var. meriana is 60 cm-1 m high, produces no bulbils, but has seeds.  Its flowers are brick-red to dull-pink.
