Hi Barb
there are a couple of records of (rare) L. tasmanicum on Mt Majura; the species has a basal rosette at least in an early growth stage. The endangered Ginninderra Peppercress L ginninderrense is a species of temperate grassland; I doubt it occurs on Mt Majura. We have records of 2 introduced species L africanum and L bonariense.

Thanks, Waltraud. I've looked at how to distinguish L. africanum from L. tasmanicum, so I'll keep an eye out for it and any others which could be native.

sorry, I couldn't talk last Monday; I had to catch up with Margy FoMM secretary after returning from Vic.
