Formally locally common amongst the marble blocks and on the walls of the track side of Harwood's Hole (least ways this was the situation in 1996), on this visit I struggled to find any.
I suspect that the constant traffic of people visiting the tomo shaft and cavers accessing the shaft from the ledge have destroyed most of the plants I knew of.
Thirty minutes searching found only three specimens, all in deep crevices and joints of marble rock.
Images show one of these with male and female flowers and immature fruits. This species is superficially similar to Carex spinirostris a species from which it is allopatric. Carex cremnicola differs from C. spinirostris especially by features of the utricle The sheaths of C. cremnicola are brown rather than red, and the utricles are 2.0–3.5 × 0.8–2.0 mm, oblong or club-shaped, dark red, trigonous, elliptic sometimes fusiform, abruptly narrowed to a beak rather than 3.2–4.2 × 1.0–1.2 mm, linear, green to brown, sometimes red, triquetrous, fusiform, with a long tapering beak.

Hopefully, but possibly Ottelia ovalifolia - or something else. What are best characteristics to observe more closely for better ID ??

Scattered, growing under regenerating Totara forest. This species is very rare in Golden Bay. Glabrous indusia, so not A. hispidulum.
