Altitudes:
from 50m
Habitat:
Margin of main flow of Fish Creek; reputedly subject to variation of flow and drying up of this spring-fed stream.

Forming dense mat on emergent rock at margin of Fish Creek (in small swift tributary) and subject to drying; with abundant Echinodium hispidum.
Specimen notes
Supplementary remarks:
I consider this material to be indistinguishable from the syntype of Sciaronium bellii from Southland; the stem leaves that I have entirely unistratose.
