S.biserratus? Or S.hispidulus, or S.distalobatus. Honestly i reckon Jackie might know.

@Grassman do you have any more info on how you got to that species? As Tapirlord said it is a bit hard to eliminate several other similar species on this one

Jackie Miles thought it could be Senecio glomeratus. ssp longifructus.
I found the Senecio key (Thompson 2004) hard work
Haven't got back to collect a specimen for Herbarium.

Ticks all the boxes in terms of habitat, leaf shape and ACT occurence. I did look at Senecio glomeratus. ssp longifructus, but that species hasn't been found in the ACT.

Thanks for sorting that one, Tapirlord:
in the field it looked pretty distinctive, plus its habitat was unusual -So, I didn't expect it would be so problematic to ID, and take such a while to resolve.
