A possibly better view of the leaf rosette In sand gravel open area Lake Hawea glacial moraine area.
I'm not 100% certain but compare it with Whitlow grass, Erophila verna. http://www.nzpcn.org.nz/flora_details.aspx?ID=3900
Certainly looks like it to me from the NZPCN photos. Less fertility at my site would lead to the smaller and reddish leaf rosettes I guess. Flowers look identical. Thankyou very much. Helen
