The only flowering plant I found along the track between Charlotte's Pass and Blue Lake. There were thousands of other plants alongside the track that had gone to fruit.

Tony as we are following the nomenclature of the Atlas of Living Australia, we will keep using P. alpestre until they make the change- are you happy to confirm this photo as such?

Michael, I'm happy to stick with current nomenclature for the moment, but taxonomy keeps changing and there are a few other name changes in the pipeline but best not to confuse people.
