User's notes
Healthy ca. 5 plants on the side of the small creek (and near the road),
under the canopy of Eucalyptus elata, Acacia mearnsii and so on .
*Lepidosperma laterale* or *Lepidosperma viscidum* or another *Lepidosperma* species ?
Note the leaves margins and lamina ≠ribbed venation, in photograph 4 .

i would say L.laterale. The culm margins seem smooth rather than scabrous which would eliminate L.viscidum. The infloresence seems to long for L.gunnii which I was also thinking about.

Thank you Ciaran .
Please once more check leaves' margins' glands, scabrosities, (loosely : 'bumps')? – in the fourth photograph at full resolution, the middle where it has focussed most .
