I suspect that punctatum is more likely but will leave it up to Tony or Mark to make a call - I hope I don't have to end up apologising to michaelB

I think it is D. punctatum based on the heavy spots and blotches, but really need to see the flowers fully open. Where did you find it Michael? I ask as D. punctatum is not so common or widespread in the ACT as D. roseum.

I suggested roseum because it is more common, so I am learning to distinguish between spotty and blotchy! For Tony I have added a more detailed description of where I found it. I could go back and try to find it for a better photo, in the next week or so. It would be a good excuse to walk on Mt Tennant again.

Michael, there are a couple of known locations for D. punctatum on the roadside near the base of Mt Tennent.

Tony, could you explain where they are? It would be good to have a look.
