User's notes

An interesting location as it was over a 1000m, I had seen others at 930m and I thought those were high.

I think this is clivicola, but I can't see the leaf. Can you remember how close it was to the flowers?

Thanks Matt. I almost put it down as clivicola. I have another photo which is out of focus, but can see the leaf in the picture above is just outside the image.

I'm pretty sure this is C clivicola too (it's certainly not cornuta), but given that it's a new location it would be best to see the open flowers.
