NSW DCCEEW funded a review of database records; fieldwork; reporting and the establishment of monitoring plots for this species in its disjunct northern occurrence (Nattai to Yerranderie). Numerous old and spatially inaccurate records were reviewed and corrected to show where this species has actually been found. One small occurrence was unable to be found; another was found further south than previously known, but the main Nattai River population was unable to be accessed due to flood debris and its remote location. The Yerranderie occurrence was resolved to a single ridge over which it extends for approximately two kilometres. Vegetation sampling was conducted to describe the plant community in which the species occurs, and to establish 6 monitoring sites that will be revisited to track the health of the population.
During fieldwork, several other rare and threatened species were detected, including a new and significantly more western occurrence of the endangered shrub, Pomaderris brunnea, and a new south-western occurrence of the vulnerable small shrub, Epacris purpurascens var. purpurascens.
