Rare in the ACT where it occurs in steep montane gullies beside streams. This site appears a new location at first glance but may be the site of N.T. Burbidge's 1965 collections labelled "Lyrebird Research Area, Mount Tidbinbilla". Regardless an interesting species that we would appreciate more ACT records of.

User's notes

(8) 42, a broken frond. But I Believe the veins & shape are distinctive.

There is a nicely sized population of this plant above the falls at cascades.
