Significant sighting

24 Oct 2014

This plant has not been recorded in the ACT since 1978, then on the same day Andrew and Rosemary record sightings in Canberra Nature Map from sites 25 km apart. I wish I had taken odds on this happening with the TAB. As Rosemary says "Best way to see the Stylidium is to crawl around soakage areas on hands & knees, nose about 10 cm from the ground" so thanks for the grovelling you guys - well done
