Just explicitly checking diagnostic features and dimensions showing here, :
before confirming this identification:
• Leaves usually 2–4 cm wide ?
• Pollen presenter fusiform shaped, 2–3 mm long ?
– in the old inflorescence – infructescence, at the top of this first photograph here, with the original viewed at full resolution and zoomed in to this old inflorescence – infructescence .
(Fl. NSW glossary quotation: "fusiform [means]: spindle-shaped, i.e. narrower at both ends than at the middle." ).
