User's notes

Unable to resolve ID: C. paucijuga is a best guess. Using PlantNet and FloraV, this keyed out to C. moirensis or C paucijuga: C. moirensis is better fit (shape of leaf base) but is not on ACT Census 4.1. Annuals: maturing rapidly: from flowers to siliqua in 3-4 days. These plants were growing on wet muds, at base of bank of River, in amongst other small herbs. Erect habit, not stoloniferous: glabrous. Cauline leaves (approx 5, one per node) smaller than basal leaves (basal leaves bottom right of third photo): all pinnatifid. white flowers, no markings. Siliqua is roughly 2-3 cm long, with two chambers, each with a row of 9-12 seeds, all small pale golden colour. if this is C. paucijuga, then the last herbarium specimen was collected in 1976.
