The Melichrus growing on Black Mountain will be described as new species at some stage - see https://www.friendsanbg.org.au/node/1912

Thanks Rosemary - tried to find more info but looks like publication still to occur? do you know if it is just Black Mountain or Black mountain sandstone and can you tell them apart by more than genetics?

Cheers Michael

I think it's distinguished on the orientation and hairiness of young leaves and is probably associated with BM sandstone; it's yet to be published.
