Hi Ned,
Can you check the location for this sighting ? it is a bit away from any likely habitat.

This plant is common in and around wetlands and waterbodies: on CNM it is listed under Other Wildflowers and Herbs

Hi Jane,
The location for this plant is in the correct place. It was in a quite damp drainage channel from the dam to the river. I was walking through the grass there when I noticed the plant in one of the mud puddles there.
Thanks,
Ned
