Altitudes:
from 5m
Habitat:
A few scattered patches growing in coastal ground with A. agnipila, Pimelea sp. Calystegia soldenella and exotic grasses.
Notes:
Plant Register ID: 2009/0839
Specimen notes
Supplementary remarks:
These are Acaena agnipila (Australian) crossed with Acaena novae-zelandiae or A. anserinifolia, as Pat states.
We have not been able to identify the second parent in any case. The probable parent has been stated when either is growing in the vicinity. (Tony Orchard coined the name × anserina).
Pat has looked at the associated species and from the habitat Acaena novae-zelandiae would be the most likely second parent.
