This is currently considered as a rare plant in the ACT, though CNM has shown that it is more abundant than thought and with a few more records will probably take off rare status

Near the Murrumbidgee River upstream of Point Hut Crossing.

This newly found patch is threatened by encroaching of Rubus anglocandicans/Blackberry which might smother it if left to expand too much further.

Thanks Michael will talk to Murrumbidgee crew about making it a priority area for blackberry control

Hi Michael M
Thanks for the attention to the Blackberries.
What I've found consistently is that this grass survives on low rocky islands in the Murrumbidgee River. I can't explore all of the river, and there is a large gap between what I've explored to the south of Point Hut & the north of Tharwa. I suspect that if anyone was able to explore the islands in the in between space they would find some more.
