The species was also abundant at Waidala Creek (CL 7188), a clear stream of moderate depth formed from the confluence of several intertwined creeks issuing from numerous spring outflows at the base of a set of low hills. The water depth here was

, flowing over a substrate of firm, dark sand with an overlying layer of small dark gravel. This was one of only three drainages with permanent water crossing the road between Bolubolu and Vivigani, and had by far the largest and most steady base flow; it was also the only one of these watercourses lined with a gallery forest. Brass (1956) refers to this as the Wufa Branch of Waidala Creek, and it was used as a water source by the Fourth Archbold Expedition for their Bolubolu camp in 1953. Most of the other clear, cold streams that drain from the high mountains of Goodenough Island vanish into alluvial beds upon reaching the savannahs of the lowlands, leaving only dry, flood-scoured channels. Continuous connection with the perennially flowing upland reaches is apparently established only during spates, which further serves to separate the lowland populations of
