Significant sighting

Tapirlord noted:
6 Jan 2023

New location for this locally rare rush which has emerged by the thousands this season. This sighting is particularly interesting as it suggests that it may also occur in montane bogs across Namadgi

User's notes

Apparently a new edition to montane bog flora
