Jane, I think the best would be to collect a sample for id. Would you have time to do this?
best wishes

Yes, happy to confirm as Amphibromus sp. but ID to species is a challenge from the photos.

I am planning on taking a sample to Herbarium tomorrow, but judging by the very long ligule, I am anticipating it will be A. Nervosus. Will advise later in week.

Specimen confirmed as Amphibromus nervosus, by Duty Botanist at National herbarium this morning (12 Nov 20).

Inflorescence is still a bit young, and awns have not yet pulled back

I'm about to update the Mts Majura Ainslie Flora list. This is a new record for Mt Majura! many thanks for all your records Jane.
Lately, when I saw your lovely Liverwort records I thought about an appendix of nonvascular plants ...
