User's notes

I took these rather old photographs with a camera that has no GPS function; approximate location is from memory: on the east slope, grassy patch in forest a couple of 100 meters downhill of Mt Majura summit road; there were more recent changes due to the building of a large dam and surrounding road which confuse my spacial memory...

Does your memory include how wet it was there?

2012 was a laNina year and it could have been wettish or boggy or a water film over the site but I can't remember; I was involved in either rabbit or roo survey when I spotted Isotoma - I did both that year - and only remember that I had difficulties to identify - Matted Pratia (Lobelia pedunculata) or Swamp Isotome? I haven't seen either of the species before I spotted these plants. I can't remember how I arrived at Isotome.
