Plant ID

Postby icefest » Tue 10 Feb, 2015 7:12 am

I recently found a couple of plants which I cannot identify, any help would be greatly appreciated. Both in the Tassie SW.

Plant number one:
The flower is visible and the leaves are the oval ones in the background. In the alpine area.

I'm really sorry about this one, horrific image. :( Found in scrubby leads in buttongrass.

The top photo is Geum talbotianum, found only in the southern alpine areas - common on the Southern Ranges, fairly rare elsewhere. Not sure on the second photo.

Thanks pazzar.

Now I don't have to keep calling it the Strawberry-geranium. :D

From Tassie again?

The leaves look like Bellendana montana (Mountain Rocket) but never seen the flower like that (perhaps very early stages)

Thanks. It seems to be right. There are google photos that look similar. :D
