Notes:
Abundant. Easily the most common vascular plant on the rock. Most plants seen badly damaged by salt and wind burn and littered with dead balcke-winged petrels carcases - all damage and dead birds stem from, I assume, the passage of Cyclone Bune withich passed L'Esperance on March 28 2011. The few flowers seen were pink rather the white colour ascribed to this population by others.
