So this is pretty cool. The first ever record of this rather conspicuous & magnificent herb which is common along the coast but rarely occurs west of the great dividing range. Please keep an eye out for it in wet motane gullies. Also wishing a very happy birthday to Ned! (Jan 30th ;).

User's notes

Huge plant. Not entirely sure what it is.

Super signifcant find Ned, I should've collected some at the time since its unlikely we'll go back soon. This is the first ever ACT record of this species as far as I'm aware.

Thanks! With Matt's Drymophila cyanocarpa sighting and others it seems like there are some interesting things hiding away in those wet gullies.
