Why did you change your mind about the id for this one, Ciaran? Less hairs? More pointy leaf lobes? (I'm guessing from the Vic Flora key.https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/key/2634)
This is new species for Mt Majura/Ainslie.

I had the same question; first photo seems to show hairy leaves but magnifying glass would be needed to see more details such as whether hairs are curved...
I wonder whether to collect a specimen? V. plebeia would not only be a first description for Mts Majura/Ainslie but also it is described for only a few other sites in ACT.

Waltraud, Ciaran sighted this nearly a year ago, so it may not be around to collect. Barb

oups thanks Barb. Given the season and location in drain line there might be Veronica sp. I may check during my woody weed work in the area.

Nah, no need to bother. This ID should be fairly simple, I was keying through 50 or so sightings at the time so I imagine I might have made a mistake. Let me have another go.

Sorry for the confusion, the ID should stand as V.calcyina. I must've missed the stem hairs first time around :).
