Michael, do you want me to add a couple of extra locations where it is growing? Steve

Hi Steve
Have a look at the Distribution Map for this grass at:
http://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Map?Species=3347

You will see there are a number of sightings in the vicinity of Pine Island, most of them are mine. I would be good to have a few more to the north of this one if you find it there. I suspect it would be and that would improve our overall picture of its occurrence. Any records away from the ones you see on the Distribution Map would be valuable.

If that is inconvenient, then any records of it would be good to have.
