One young plant hiding in the reeds near the start of the boardwalk. An occasional garden escape on the far south coast, particularly in wet areas.
Two big old trees possibly on the site of an old farm house. Both have one or two branches weeping down to the ground which have taken root and started to send up new trunks.
Only 1 plant seen in flower in the less often mown eastern part of the cemetery.
Growing in a drain, so far just a small infestation.
Growing in a drain with mostly exotic veg, next to the walking track.
Fairly common around the edges of Bermagui lagoon, but this plant was in a drain next to the walking track, with R. plebeius and the introduced R. repens.
I think this is M. insulare, and not the locally more common M. acuminatum, due to the relatively short leaf. M. acuminatum is also nearby, and possibly some or all of them were planted. Apart from the leaf shape there is no obvious difference between them.
Just noticed a single plant persisting in the less often mown part of the cemetery.
Only noticed one plant in this small heath patch burnt in winter 2023, fruiting at c. 14-15 months post-fire.
A single individual on relict native grassland on roadside.
Post-fire ephemeral at 14 months after a burn in the Melaleuca armillaris scrub in this area. Only saw one plant of this Senecio species.
The dominant plant in this small heath patch at 14 months after its winter 2023 burn. Prior to that it was long unburnt and shrubs were starting to die off. Shrub recovery is occurring now, but some species may have been lost with the long interval between fires. The last fire in the general area was in the late 70's or early 80's.
Possibly its first post-fire flowering after the winter 2023 fire in this small heath patch. The fact that we took no photos of it in Feb 2024 at 8 mths post-fire suggests it wasn't flowering then. Both P. glabrata and sericea are present here.
First flowers on scattered plants at c. 14 months after this small heath patch was burnt.
Fruiting at c. 14 months after this small heath patch was burnt. However, Cassytha was only seen in a small area on the edge of the heath which escaped the fire, none in the burnt areas as yet.
In Ficus rubiginosa dry rainforest on a monzonite outcrop.
