In a boggy drainage line at c. 740m elevation. In the 3rd photo the Lobelia surrepens leaves, c. 10mm long, give a bit of scale for the Myriophyllum leaves, also around 10mm long and so it has to be M. peducnulatum and not the shorter-leaved (to 3mm) M. lophatum, which also occurs on the Southern Tablelands.

Patchily plentiful in the less manicured part of the cemetery, where exotic grasses have not yet taken hold. It seems to be coping well with regular mowing, being naturally prostrate. Acrotriche serrulata, which has the same habit, is also present. There are few other non-grass natives left in this cemetery, other than encroaching tree and shrub regen on the eastern edge adjacent to forest.

I would estimate over 200 specimens throughout Ulladulla headland. May be native but I highly doubt they were naturally occurring here in this amount. I would guess they were planted in regeneration areas and have spread that way. Not normally found in high numbers in this area in my experience.

Only seen on the edge of this small patch of burnt heath (c. 8 months ago), where it abuts unburnt Kunzea ambigua scrub. The leaves in the 2nd photo lack the tubercle based hairs on the margins of P. effusum and the inflorescence is a lot smaller.

Only noticed a single flowering plant in a small unburnt patch within this heath, whcih was burnt in about May 2023. I have seen numerous seedlings of Cassytha glabella in burnt heath at other locations, but nothing here yet. At only c. 8 months post-fire it might be a bit early for them.
