Good evening !
Shown here:
• Leaf(s) tip not toothed.
• "Outer and inner tepals dissimilar (outer tepals shorter than inner tepals), the flower remaining bell-shaped."
• Inflorescence extensively branched.
• "Branches of the inflorescence predominately opposite or whorled" .
Do you have any more photographs of this plant please ?
Does this plant have decumbent growth please ?
(beyond a compact single tussock)
If it does, if possible please add a photograph showing this to assist all of us to recognise this species and for me to again re-confirm this identification .
For clarity, the meaning of decumbent:
