The location of this plant is extremely remote I won't be going back there ever to look for more!

This is actually the more common C.retusum, note the flatter upward curving leaves, high elevation & swampy habitat. I've recorded it from Big creamy flats & am not at all surprised to see it here. Based on the change in ID i've removed the significance listing.
