Comments	The source history of this accession is confusing and not well documented. The PI book and Indio accession book lists this PI as being received as seeds in 1966 from the Department of Agirculture, Sydney, Australia. The Indio PI book indicates that the seeds were planted in May, 1965, which is before the PI book documents them as having arrived. The origin direct from Australia is consistent between the PI book and the Date Station records. Possibly the date received in the PI book is actually the date numbered (this was sometimes the case with older PI's). The date received at the CRC is not noted one version of the CRC card, however there is a planting date of 1971. Other CRC records indicate that it was received in 1966 or 1968. However, the CRC number is in the middle of other accessions that were received in 1966. It therefore seems most likely that the accession was received at the CRC as small plants from the USDCS approximately one year after receipt at Indio. Although the origin in Australia is not well documented ("Dept of Agriculture, Sydney, Australia") other accessions of M. australasica are documented in CRC records as being collected by W.V. Mungomery [sic], Dept. Ind., Mayborough, N.S.W., Australia...from North Arm, Murwillumbah, N.S.W.". So it is likely that this was also the origin of this accession. Note that this existed for many years at Riverside but was only VI'ed recently due to interest in the use of M. australasica as a garnish by local and other chefs. (RR Krueger, 12/2006, revised 07/2017)<P>This accession of <i>M australasica</i> was received without the varietal epithet sanguinea. Apparently at some point, someone decided the light pinkish pigmentation merited appending this epithet, and it is included in some (but not all) versions of the archival records. In any case, this is the pigmented selection of <i>M australasica</i> currently available and for that reason was selected by former SRA and Variety Collection Queen <a href="https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/cooperator.aspx?id=44744">Ottillia "Toots" Bier</a> to send to CCPP for cleanup.
