Probably too late in the season. I found around a half dozen or so of these bushes in the NP (assuming I knew what I was looking at which is not a given). Most had neither fruit nor flowers. Some had berries. None had flowers.

Refer to Middleton's (2002) botanical key https://keybase.rbg.vic.gov.au/keys/show/9169 :
couplet 5 –> on to:
• option 6: ... _Alyxia magnifolia_
or
• option 8: ... _Alyxia ruscifolia_ .

This plant, with the information shown in these photographs identifies to either of these two candidate species and the most likely candidate, unconfirmed: _Alyxia ruscifolia_ .
