Yeah. I believe C. platychilus is supposedly restricted to the Canberra region, and is probably the same thing as C. robertsonii.

This should be C.robertsonii right?? Or have I got the two names confused again? (I can't remember what the distribution under the Jones treatment is). Either way I think we should revert to C.robertsonii. I'll send and email.

Nostoc
This is a genus of blue-green algae or cyanobacteria. They are prokaryotic and perform photosynthesis. They are often found on tree trunks. They are also found as an algal component of lichens in certain bryophytes. They are capable of nitrogen-fixing and perform photosynthesis. They are also present as an endosymbiont to fungus.
Nostoc are prokaryotic and are grouped with bacteria. The cell lacks membrane-bound organelles and genetic material is found dispersed in the cytoplasm. They are kept in cyanobacteria as they are photosynthetic.

Awesome information @Steve818 many thanks again. It really did look like a different tree to the other E. stricta I saw nearby.

@MatthewFrawley and @Tapirlord : Dr Dean Nicolle got back to me and said it is likely to be E.dendromorpha. It is a common species on and around wet cliffs in the central Blue Mountains, and closely related to E.stricta and E.burgessiana. Older Eucalypt books and EUCLID only list as a tree, hence why when keying out there was some confusion. I compared with a sighting on the South Coast that was identified as E.dendromorpha too, and they are a good match. Interestingly the older texts and EUCLID say it does not have a lignotuber, but that now needs revising. After the 2019-20 fires a lot of E.dendromorpha went from tree form to mallee form, so a lignotuber was present. Maybe there are populations with and without lignotubers.
