In late June 2024 I created a google sheet for the period June - August listing the plants recorded for the extended Mallacoota District in iNaturalist. As the month of July passed I added to that any additional plants we caw in flower (and were able to identify.
We ended with 28 species for July, which is not bad for mid-Winter, and probably helped by the relatively minimum temperatures experienced this month. On confirming the ID of Pandorea pandorana (Wonga Vine) a local expert commented that it was "pretty early".
I have now compiled a similar sheet for July - September which should cover the plants likely to be flowering in August. It was notable that the list of additions for September was quite extensive: Spring springs in that month! At this stage there are 23 species list for August per se but 103 species for the entire 3 month period.
The plants are sorted in two ways:
- the first sheet has them sorted by month of expected occurrence with August first, then July and September last (then by Family);
- the second sheet is by species name order, but with the known August species highlighted in yellow.
