Rare on Ile de la Possession. Found in one relatively dry (± 40%) bare soil sample, covered with some small stones, in the vicinity of Pointe Basse. In one peat core, G. subantarctica and G. taafii (see below) are frequently observed, especially in the upper 50cm.Kerguelen (Van de Vijver & Le Cohu (subm.))
