A really inspiring article Marcus. I wonder if Mike Grant who edits The Plantsman here in the UK will have seen it? The Waratah is an indelible memory from walking up into the Labyrinth in the Cradle Mtn/Lake St. Clair reserve, and I'd heard about the 'yellow', like the yellow embothrium, but knew nothing of Essie or its history. There is also that very rare Lomatia tasmanica that Denis King discovered (I think) down in the south-west, that Tony Hall grew for a while at Kew. Fascinating plants.
