Luke Steenhuis Thanks Lorraine. I'm still not sure with your I.D. I have photographed several S. glauca and none exhibit the traits of this one. I am more inclined to think that it is a Dianella species and after spending time comparing the different Dianella members, I can only come to the conclusion that it is a very healthy and vigorous D. tasmanica. Please see the third image uploaded in this set for the typical Dianella basal leaf structure which varies quite a bit to Stypandra; which has only sparse leaves around the base. The habitat (sheltered, damp forest) and 1300m elevation also do not match S. glauca's preference. I have added a fourth image which shows the serrated margin of the leaves as highlighted by VicFlora for D. tasminica (see the lower leaf on the extra image).

Lorraine Phelan Tricky business, isn't it? But fun.

Luke Steenhuis I agree. It's a great way to get out and experience nature at it's best. I'm often envious of your wonderful photos.

Lorraine Phelan Thankyou, but I'm often puzzled when I look at the computer screen and wish I'd photographed the leaf junction or the sepals or some other vital identification point.

Cathy Powers Leuba - from my investigations, Persicoptera aglaopa has different markings on the hindwing than your image. It has yellow with a dark band at the outer margin of the hindwing. This appears to be more like Endosimilis stilbealis - perhaps gender specific.
Leuba Ridgway Thank you Cathy. I believe you are right. I found a moth very similar in colour to mine on Barcodinglife.com and it was E.stilbealis.
