First CNM sighting of this species from the ACT, and I believe the first record of this species since 2012 in the ACT. Though known from the vicinity of Cypress pine lookout.

Hi Bethany, The pungens were seen on an ANPS walk on May 5 2023 along the Alpine WT descending from Boroomba Rocks Carpark towards Bushfold flats. We do not normally take GPS records of plants we see along these walks but simply compile a list. My impression was they had germinated from seed post fire as the fire would have been very hot on the north facing slope. I did not photograph the plants as they were not in flower. This was our first visit to this section of the Alpine WT.
