User's notes

Found in good condition Box-Gum Woodland with a healthy Themeda groundstorey. It looked different to other S. monticola I've seen, so just want to make sure it's not S. recta!

In recta the end leaflet is longer than the side ones and leaflet endings are tapering rather than notched. I also think the flower of recta tends to be more pinky-purple than this shade - but that may be a dodgy ID feature.
