Hi Bethany, The pungens were seen on an ANPS walk on May 5 2023 along the Alpine WT descending from Boroomba Rocks Carpark towards Bushfold flats. We do not normally take GPS records of plants we see along these walks but simply compile a list. My impression was they had germinated from seed post fire as the fire would have been very hot on the north facing slope. I did not photograph the plants as they were not in flower. This was our first visit to this section of the Alpine WT.
