    "...swampy coastal heath scrub." Is the water or soil saline to some degree? Posted 6 years ago

      It is very flat land and much of the time it would be very bog like. It is very close to a tidal river system with a lot of mangroves but I found the sundews still within the area which would not be affected by seawater.
