Field Collection Notes
Locally common, over > 100m, in quite dense to open oioi stands - just wet sand at this time of year with a slimy coating of algae. Flowers dark pink (would fit U. monanthos), up to 3 fls/scape all at same level; narrow leaves to 16mm long x 2mm across. First time that I've seen this taxon here - possibly planted by the carnivorous plant people?
