Habitat

[edit]

Bit hard to work out the habitat of this species. The article has (at 28.7.2019) "The soils are poor in nutrient, based from sandstone and conglomerate rocks.[1][2]" Unfortunately I do not have access to the first reference (book by A.G.Flloyd) and I can't find any reference to rock type in the second reference. The management plan of the Mount Imlay National Park has the following: "The summit of Mount Imlay and surrounding upper slopes consist of Devonian (395 to 345 million years ago) rocks of the Merimbula group lying above the Ordovician sediments. The Merimbula Group includes sandstone, conglomerates, quartzite, siltstone and shale." So perhaps Plantnet is incorrect.[3]

Another reference [4] appears to be a deadlink so I have removed those statements. Happy to discuss this here, if necessary. Gderrin (talk) 05:19, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
