Field Collection Notes
Single plant back of beach. I have botanised in that area for the last 10 years and this is the first record I have made for this species - the site is easily seen and I am fairly confident that its a recent coastal current arrival. There are no plantings in the area to my knowledge. Associated with: Cortaderia splendens, Astelia banksii, Ozothamnus leptophyllus, Leucopogon fasciculatus, Macropiper excelsum & Apodasmia similis
