User's notes
I had to manually correct location again in this my second attempt to upload photos to NatureMapr This app is still not locating me correctly even though I had enabled camera location on my phone. At least it had me in the region at Dignhams Ck but not correctly at The Crossingland 6km upriver from Bermagui. I have now also checked the app and enabled location there.

Looks like *Solanum pungetium* yet to confirm
Cf. *Solanum prinophyllum* – checking before confiming identification :
• → https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=gn&name=Solanum
• → https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/key/2575
(• → https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Solanum~pungetium )
(• → https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Solanum~prinophyllum )
Hence, please add a photograph of a healthy leaf's underside .
And provide a measurement means for the length of the shown flower's anthers
(eg. measure them yourself and note the average length in mm
or more challenging practises:
place a small ruler inside the flower up alongside the anthers and make a high quality focussed macro photograph of the anthers and ruler side by side! ):

@TheCrossingLand: On the desktop/laptop website, on your sighting's page, about the top right hand side there's an edit button.
I'm not using the app at the moment (so not sure about it;
nor the website when on a mobile device's screen as it's differently layed out).
