Significant sighting

MichaelMulvaney noted:

30 Jan 2017

Water Plantain is reasonably widespread in coastal NSW, Victoria and Tasmania, but in the ACT it has a restricted distribution, with little known about the population size at the 16 locations at which it has been recorded. Would be good to have better information on its regional presence.

User's notes

About 1 metre tall; on the western edge of the Murrumbidgee River, about 500m north of Tharwa bridge.

Thanks Michael M. I had not seen it before, and am glad it is a native.
