It may well be as there are no other reported nearby sightings, but I will leave that to Aaron and Waltraud.

These are not too far from the two plants Waltraud has suggested protecting from grazing until they flower.

Bingo. Brilliant Petersan. Yes I've just checked, we had no other previous sightings within the vicinity of this, so definitely a new spot for the species. In an area divided by some large main tracks/roads that previously was not known for C. actensis. Great find Petersan!!!

Tony, I was in the field on Thursday the 8th of September and there were two flowers out in the Ainslie population.

I photographed plants last year on 17 September, but 8 September is quite early.
