User's notes
Just on a metre tall, late flowering/seed heads present. Growing on areas that would be damp or even saturated but rarely flood. A similar species seen at N02 Dam in the Chiltern Mt Pilot NP where long term shallow flooding would occur annualy.

These are really nice images, but sadly without the pith I'm not able to go beyond genus comfortably. There are some 16 odd species in this area. If your keen to get these guys ID'd to species level I would recommend spilt open one of the stems and photographing the white pith inside :)

Thanks for that, I live and learn, I have tended to photograph whole habitats or at least as much as I see. The regular stuff is important because its the base for all the rarer stuff to hang on to. At this stage I am uploading pix from different habitats first. Any and all guidance welcome.
