Hydnophytum moseleyanum, Iron Range National Park region, Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia..

[Derrick]

This population was photographed in wet sclerophyll forest, a rarer transitional ecosystem that occurs between Australia's vastly more predominant aridity-adapted often savannah (open canopied) sclerophyll forests and closed canopy rain forests.  A ridge top position permitted better views of these often high perched colonies in this location but further north nearer the peninsulas tip, they were often also low perched.
