Euphrasia bowdeniae only grows in the Upper Blue Mountains, and is classed as vulnerable.
It can be distinguished from other members of the genus by its leaves which have one set of "teeth", and its upper leaves are toothless.

Sand-heath Grasstree (Xanthorrhoea caespitosa)Observer
possumpeteDescription
Ok so this is an exciting one. There is a known population of this species in the area, with the record from exactly here. The corrected Xanthorrhoea key to Victorian species (Muelleria, 33:113, 2015) puts X.minor and X.australis as having leaf widths less than this individual. Happy to be corrected and would like to have a flowering spike to check, but seems good for it?
