Significant sighting

Tapirlord noted:

14 Jan 2023

The second ever recorded location of this plant in a ACT, & first recorded sightings 1987. One to keep an eye out for at the edges of montane bogs.

User's notes

Growing from among grass tussocks and Hakea on the elevated portion of montane swamp. Abundance is a best guess (I forgot to note the number of plants). Found with Tapirlord and Ned_Johnston.

I reckon there were between 5-15 (depending on how you counts plants), across 4 different clumps.
