Out of curiosity, how do you distinguish bathurstianus and hispidulus? They're both widespread in Canberra so it would be helpful to know the differences.

Typically the leaves - hispidulus has lobate leaves with small grooves along the edges, whereas bathurstianus has pinnatisect leaves where the grooves extend almost to the central vein forming a pinnate appearance.
