User's notes

I know its a Xanthorrhoea but not which one: and can't see Xanthorrhoea sp on the drop down menu (under other Shrubs). This was a patch of about 80 individuals, of which fewer than 5 had flowered, and their flowering spikes were old and somewhat broken: none of these were tall. Many were quite small, about 80 cm tall.

The local species is in other trees for whatever reason, pretty sure all grass trees are glauca and not australis in the ACT.
