a condition not seen in other areas; soil erosion due to excessive run-off from cleared 
areas in the Jamison creek catchment is occurring. By comparison plants at locality 
2, on a nearby but undisturbed drainage system, do not show these symptoms. 
At all locations small healthy plants are found, indicating that the species is 
continuing to establish itself. 
All plants found are in Blue Mountains City Council reserves. It is 
recommended that control of all sites where Microstrobos fitzgeraldii is found be 
transferred to the National Parks and Wildlife Service to ensure survival of this 
rare plant.
