Thank you to @rangerstacey, @RangerRiley and the Cotter Depot team of the ACT Parks and Conservation Service for managing the site, and removing threats such as blackberry. Very good insurance population for this rare Eucalypt. Juvenile E.parvula plants and seedlings also present. @mcosgrove @MichaelMulvaney

These are planted here no?

Yes, @rangerstacey found an old report explaining that they were planted as an insurance population by the now defunct CSIRO Forestry Yarralumla. They survived the 2003 fires and they consequently have a mallee form.

Taking some material to Herbarium next week as they had no record of it there.

Interesting this idea of insurance populations outside of natural geographic range. Not quite sure how I feel about it to be honest

Yes I guess hybridisation can be an issue too.
