I'd like to record this sighting as significant because this patch of rare plants is at risk of being lost to weed invasion. See comments.

For this locally rare plant with only 2 known locations in the ACT, there an issue of its survival. At this site there are encroaching weeds such as African Love Grass & Blackberries. The Blackberries are especially a problem since they would shade out this small patch and are only a few metres away.
