In cushion bog forest margin, a single individual of the hybrid between Chionochloa conspicua and C. rubra. See this observation: https://inaturalist.nz/observations/65613719
Juvenile foliage resprouting after most of sapling browsed.
Fitting that this species is flowering on rewarewa near to the memorial for the Waikato botanist Michael C. Gudex. Seen on several emergent trees (pukatea and rewarewa); unfortunately images from phone and at a distance.
