Five-dotted Ground Spider (Storena formosa)Observer
paul2georgeDescription
Storena sp. cf. S. cyanea
Spotted Ground Spider, Common Ant-eating Spider. An ant mimic.
Zodariidae are abundant ground-living spiders in Australia, often recognised by their attractive, bright yellow or orange spots against a dark brown abdomen. Most species are daytime hunters and live together with ants, mimicking their behaviour and sometimes even their chemical traits.
From Adam Parsons: "... a comparison with Storena cyanea & Storena formosa. In general S cyanea have more black covering the carapace with the dots on the abdomen being a pale cream to bright white. S formosa can sometimes have extensive black on carapace (as I have seen in some males) but generally less that that of S cyanea. S formosa in every specimen I have seen has had bright yellow spots on the abdomen. S cyanea are arboreal in nature having found them only on the trunks of trees near the qld nsw border. S formosa sometimes found on tree trunks but predominantly terrestrial in habit. Also S cyanea to my knowledge does not occur that far South. S cyanea have black femurs on first pair of legs, S formosa are bright red or orange. "

Section Sempervivum (Section Sempervivum)Observer
jeffbisbeeDescription
Observed and photographed by Fabian Gonzalez. This appears to be an un-described species. Hairs on petals do not match those of Viola atropurpurea, which very rarely has yellow flowers. The plant seems more similar in the shape of the rosettes and hairs on petals to Viola skottsbergiana, a plant with white petals and similar markings on the lower petals.

Seems to match this observation found a short distance to the south on Nevado de Longaví.
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/77911856
In 10th photo, Nevado de Longaví, can be seen in the distance.
Growing at an altitude of 2980 m.
The population consists of thousands of plants that are all consistently yellow or yellow-orange colored.
Other yellow flowered species in the Section Sempervivum include V. auricolor, which has smaller, more loosely arranged rosettes, and larger flowers compared to the size of the rosettes. It grows far to the south of this location.
Viola coronifera has yellow flowers that are arranged at a different angle on the rosettes.
Observación y fotos por Fabian Gonzalez.
Parece que es una especie desconocida. Los pelos de los pétalos son diferentes de los de Viola atropurpurea. Es mas parecido en la forma de las rosetas y en los pelos de los pétalos a Viola skottsbergiana, que tiene pétalos blancos con manchas parecidas.

Parece bastante parecido a esa observación del Nevado de Longaví, que está unos 30 kilometros al sur:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/77911856
Crece a una altura de 2980 msnm.
Otras violas de la sección Sempervivum con flores amarillas incluye Viola auricolor, que tiene rosetas mas pequeñas, con hojas no tan apretadas, y flores mas grandes en comparación al tamaño de las rosetas. Esa especie ocurre muy al sur.
Viola coronifera, que ocurre mas cerca al sur, tiene flores amarillas que salen en angulo diferente en las rosetas en comparación a esa especie.
