Hi, I'm pretty confident of my ID and could add it to CNM, however I'm unsure of whether it is a local native or rare to the region. Only three records on CNM and not in the ACT.

I have added this species to the regions taxonomy and confirmed the ID. Will wait for further information re regional rarity = I suspect that NSW + ACT records have yet to be added to the electronic data-bases
