Senecio is a difficult genus to ID - but this seems to be the most likely doesn't match gunni or hispidulus which are ones I keyed it out to, not sure what Species N looks like

Ditto to that, I agree that this doesn't match gunnii or hispidulus. Perhaps Senecio niveoplanus. Which is said to have a purplish lower leaf surface that is coarsly hairy https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/2dc44e26-fe47-4da7-a703-680ff70750af

I'm nearly certain this is Senecio niveoplanus. This plant has coarsely hairy upper and lower leaf surfaces, lobed leaves with a purplish underside and is in montane forest on granitic soils. The only other ACT record is along a wet seep under mountain gum, so we are in similar habitat.
