Habitat:
At least 10 scattered individuals either growing through mats of exotic grasses and native sedges, or on mats of mosses, both in relatively stunted monocot associations in a moderately fertile section of a large montane wetland.
Microhabitat:
Occasional (clumped or scattered) Phormium tenax, Carex secta and Chionochloa rubra ssp. cuprea emergent over more extensive areas of Schoenus pauciflorus and Holcus lanatus interspersed with Carex diandra and occasional Carex tenuiculmis. Other associated species include Cirsium palustre, Blechnum penna-marina, Bulbinella angustifolia, Eleocharis acuta and Viola cunninghamii.
Notes:
All Epilobium hirtigerum plants were past flowering, with stems drying and withering. Only one plant (occurring in a relatively open and grass-free site) had the diagnostic flush of glabrous basal leaves.
