Gough: First recorded in 1888 , planted by sealers (Hänel et al 2005; Cooper & Ryan 1994); persisting at some sites along the east coast. Also at the Met Station [3]. Inaccessible: Recorded by Wace & Dickson (1965). Restricted to the vicinity of the huts at Waterfall Beach (Roux et al 1992, Ryan & Glass 2001).
