I have rarely seen this species in Black Mountain. My best sighting was at this spot during the latter part of the Covid lockdown. From a distance I could see a massive curtain of what I assumed was an unnaturally dense growth of Hovea or, more likely, of pale Hardenbergia.Instead, I was amazed to see such a dense growth of Comesperma. I walk past this spot numerous times each year and during spring/summer check for flowering Comesperma. Never have I seen a display that comes close to equalling the mass flowering during Covid.

I was looking for Clematis aristata (Mountain Clematis) but didn’t find it because of all the fallen Allocasuarina verticillata.

Some of the leaves near the ground surface in the bottom of these two photographs, have their under-surfaces facing upwards to the camera,
showing the glaucous (white or grey bloom on the leaves' laminas' surfaces),
confirming this species identification.
