User's notes

Tony I am posting this older sighting (pre. my involvement CNM) in an attemp to correct my sighting 3384756 at the end of last year. I think I have wrongly over claimed the sighting to be "a known site". It was known only to me based on this sighting which I now believe to be Dipodium roseum by the recurved sepal & petal tips. This sighting is just day/s after MattM's sightings 1948763 & 1949141 and may be of interest to both MattM & Aaron Clausen. MattM's sightings are of a different group of flower stems. I think the case for Dipodium punctatum being present in this area should await a more thorough investigation next summer. As I had no GPS on my camera at the time of these photos it is my best estimate but I believe very close a I know the area well. Is it possible to correct sighting 3384756 to either Dipodium sp. or Dipodium roseum.
