User's notes

Small white-flowering plant beside Stove's Firetrail in severely burnt forest in February 2020. Could it be Olearia erubescens? It has prickles on the edges of the leaves.

Yep, I think it has to be that, although the marginal teeth on the leaves are a bit bigger than I'm used to seeing them. We'll put that down to it being juvenile foliage.

Thanks Jackie, I think I have managed to strike a couple of cuttings so I will see how they develop.
