User's notes

An extensive dense patch occupying a small creek in Namadgi NP (estimated area is 3-5m wide, 15-20 m long). Normally this plant associated with higher nutrient levels in water, and/or with disturbance (especially human settlement and gardens). Finding it here on a small creek in Namadgi NP was a real surprise. No sign of any plants immediately downstream of this patch.
