This is by far the largest population of this species recorded in the ACT, would appreciate any further sightings to warrant taking this plant off the rare plant list. It is widespread across southern Australia.

Thanks Michael - for the three sightings = this plant is known from 17 locations in the ACT and we thought that it only had a small population it is considered to be a data deficient possibly rare species. these sightings just about push it off the rare list and enable us to concentrate on those species that really need help.

Thanks Michael M
The Molonglo River is fairly low at the moment, hence I was able to spot them. They must survive quite well when submerged.
