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.
