And thanks for this one too Jane, which I didn't see coming. Having had a close look at Plantnet I think I get it though. I suspect I have been mistaking L. meridionalis for L. densiflora in my own records in other instances as well by not looking closely enough.
Good to have a new plant species for the PNR - they don't come along all that often these days.

The two are rarely easy to distinguish with confidence: Flora Victoria does not recognise densiflora as a separate species but treats it as a variant within luzula meriodionalis.
