Several locals have been reporting Tetratheca juncea out in bloom from as far away as Kilaben Bay Fire trail and Awaba.

| Tetratheca juncea |
Closer to home a cornucopia of clumps have been located along the West Ridge and documented as part of the Threatened Species project.
Some interesting observations so far have been that the Tetratheca juncea is being found only on the southern side of the Ridge, there are areas where there are multiple clumps in close proximity and then spots where it’s not. It is already starting to set seed and becoming less obvious as the blossoms wither and drop and leave only the leafless stems.
Once the locations are mapped it will provide an opportunity for targeted bush regeneration to remove the threat of weeds to this ‘at risk’ species. This offer will be available to private landholders who are interested in caring for their clumps.
If you know you have a clump and would like some bush regeneration support contact Suzanne cppa.tsls@gmail.com .
