User's notes
About 1.8m tall, looks like a bottlebrush flower on a stick, but coming from sparse scrappy grass like leaves.

I'm pretty sure this is Xanthorrhoea macronema. Not sure this species should be in trees though, might be more suited put in Other Shrubs.

Many of the categories used in the taxonomy aren't really suitable - hopefully this gets updated soon.
