User's notes

To re-check identification – I thoroughly checked this identification at the time over some weeks with regard to the significance of this species as i had learned in learning since the 1980s about grassy ecosystems across SE Au . Flowering well (many more plants seen – just not photographed) . 13:35–36 : 2 photographs not well focussed .

thanks Jason - I think I did a count of the button wrinklewort around this time at this site and had a number in the low tens - will try and check

Thank you Michael Mulvaney.
My memories from fourteen years ago of these my brief surveys in my spare time, while also working hard in my MDBA day job, are a bit rough, so naturally i defer to any figures you recorded of numbers of individuals (genets) . Hence I'll change the figure here of my memories of my estimates at the time to the abundance estimate category of 4–15 .

Sorry Jason your counts were actually a few years apart from mine so please stick to original estimate. I counted 12 in 2019 but Steve Taylor counted 35 in 2023 so thats good but in 2007 there were 290 plants so that is not so good - I think the current management is a bit more sympathetic than what was occurring from 2010-2020.
Cheers Michael
