Fairly common in subalpine grassland at c. 1290m elevation. And for a Wahlenbergia, pleasingly distinctive, with a single flower perched at the tip of a slender stem above a tuft of dense opposite leaves.

Tadgell's Bluebell (Wahlenbergia multicaulis)Observer
jackiemilesDescription
Uncommon in subalpine grassland at c. 1290m elevation. Keys to this species on having the corolla rotate, with scarcely any tube (ie flower pretty much flat viewed from the side) and the corolla lobes about 5mm long (so not the similar but larger W. planiflora).

Flowers larger than the similar looking W. multicaulis (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/196798843). Only seen in subalpine woodland, not out in the more exposed grassland in the area. Elevation c. 1290m.

Australian Bluebell (Wahlenbergia stricta)Observer
jackiemilesDescription
Fairly common in subalpine woodland at c. 1290m elevation, and distinguished from W. planiflora with which it was growing (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/196799028), by the long floral tube (1st photo). Opposite leaves make it this and not the similar looking W. capillaris.
