User's notes

Indigofera adesmiifolia is best fit but this one seems quite hairy and the leaflets are cupped, showing hairy underside.

Mike young leaves are often hairy in Tick Indigo. An earlier sighting by Julie Lidner also noted the unusual form of plants in this area - probably worth a collection and lodging with CSIRO herbarium but you will need a permit to make a collection - I am in the process of organising a CNM group permit but more to come on that.

Michael I submitted a specimen to the herbarium a few years ago when I had a license to collect and it was identified as Indigofera adesmifolia. Dave Mallinson told me that he had also lodged a specimen much earlier than me with the same result . It is different it has never produced seed it doesn't have the same form as I.adesmifolia and it tends to sucker.
