User's notes

In grassy woodland on shallow soil; part of Friends of Mt Majura's Project named "The Fair". The second photo shows a typical assemblage of native groundcover herbs for this specific site consisting of the Common Woodruff, sprawling Glycine tabacina with trifoliate leaves and wide roundish leaflets (bottom of 2nd photo), Desmodium varians with trifoliate leaves and narrow leaflets (top of 2nd photo) and Vittadinia muelleri (bottom left hand side 2nd photo). The site has been mapped as "Wildflower Patch 4" and over the past years has been irregularly treated for St John's Wort (spraying with Starane herbicide) and fleabane (manual removal).

Main flowering time is spring - unusual to see the flowers now.
The Desmodium has been renamed Grona.
