User's notes

Assumed to be Marsilea drummondi based on size of leaflet. Extensive near mono-specific patch over much of small drying wetland; soils still moist and soft, and quite organic (see photo). Sporocarps present in soil teeth closer to M.drummondii but not confident on this. This is Wetland 24 in Jerrabomberra WNR: general view is Glossostigma on left, Marsilea on right.
