I'm happy with just genus. It was a brief wander through our prescribe burn. I'll be taking photos of regrowth occasionally but not much regrowth yet.

We have two species of Cassytha in the ACT, C.melantha and C.pubescens. The former is a thick green vine characteristic of tall wet forest, while C.pubescens occurs in dry woodland communities.
