 Some crew members of the circumnavigation expedition led by Matthew Flinders made a similar error, consuming the toxins of "M. riedlei" while anchored at the south coast.At the founding of the Swan River Colony in 1829 Captain Fremantle was the first to taste three of the 'ground nuts' found at a local camp-fire, describing the taste as inoffensive and similar to 'roast potato'.He awoke the next morning with the symptoms of poisoning and recovered later that day after taking tea as an emetic and a period of sleep.
