Glossostigma is probably under reported, but this is only the second record of this plant in the ACT. The other record is a 1965 record from Kambah Pool.

Nice photos. The PlantNET description says the flowers are blue, but that is not a problem. Many species occasionally have white flowers.

Thanks for all your recent records Andrew, so very significant sightings amongst them. This is one plant that was not on my radar, thanks for bringing it to my attention it is a beauty

My pleasure, lots of interesting species out and about so far this year. Some of these records are on behalf of Dave Albrecht as well, and the significant ones will be lodged with the herbarium. I think G. elatinoides is possibly under reported. It is a very inconspicuous species when not in flower and was doing very well along the edge of this dam.
