Well done Matt and thanks.
This has been on the Friends of The Pinnacle plant list since 2011 and it's great to now have it confirmed on NatureMapr.
Also it's no mean feat for you to have the first and only two CNM sightings of a species!

Already looking forward to your next visit to The Pinnacle.

@sangio7 the species is very similar to Austrostipa scabra so it is possible there are some A. nodosa that have been misidentified as A. scabra on Nature Map.
