0 No plants found near summit. Large population seen below
SE cliff face but not easily accessible from summit, probable
access from extention of W valley before summit beyond
E.coronata Pop No. 1 or from E ridgeline of East Mt Barren.
These plants are assumed to be E.burdettiana but may be
E.coronata, or a mixture of both species (6/10/09).

E.burdettiana were found to extend upslope as noted in
comments of population 1C. As the old path to the summit
originally traversed the east face of the mountain prior to
1989 fire, this population was probably initially recorded as
one of the plants from population 1C. (30/10/09)
Not surveyed yet. (6/10/09)
This population site was visited on 22/10/09, however no
plants were located. The terrain was not quite right. On
reading the notes on file pertaining to this population it is now
assumed that this is actually population 1C and that there
was a miss communication with the distances. From File
Note: “Steve Hopper advised that he saw the population of E.burdettiana on
the NE running ridge, mentioned by Nathan McQuoid (f125), on 2/9/90. It
was 500m W of Culham Inlet and 2.5km N of Hammersley Dr. There were 30
mature plants and a few seedlings. Regenerating from coppice after fire, 1m
tall. Quartzite. E.burdettiana was also seen scattered between this location
and East Mt Barren. This was the most NE location of E.burdettiana that
Steve saw. Brenda Moran 18/5/95”. It is probably 2.5km up
Hammersley Drive from Culham Inet and 500m N of
Hammersley Drive making it population 1C. (30/10/09)
Not surveyed yet (6/10/09).
This population was visited 23/10/09, There were two subpopulations
– 2A consists of 620 plants approximately (plants
were not individually counted) in a gully 750m N of
Hammersley Drive. The plants extend for 800-900m along
the gully and up the SE facing slope or N side of gully. 2B
consists of 46 plants on the end of a ridge S of 2A on the S &
SE facing slope of this ridge. (30/10/09)
