Rare in the ACT, this is only the second ACT record in recent times.

User's notes

An isolated patch of plants in subalpine woodland at the end of the Ginini ski run. Very interesting to see this species at what is a similar site to the locality on mt Murray. This is only the second recorded location of this species in recent times
