thanks for that. The plant is at an awkward growth stage; the most informative photos would be to repeat in spring-summer hen flowering and growing.

It's the mottled coloration and the white stripe along the flat carina of the pronotum. I'm not sure about the tibia colour, Dave Rentz does not mention this. It's very widely distributed across Australia but uncommon and its habitat requirements are not known.

Good point about stem colouration for decurrens, but this doesn't seem to be a typical locality. Surveys done in and around this part of Reserve (records in ALA) give several records for H. sericea and none for H. decurrens.

It means that the species is known from collections but the characters defining its uniqueness as a new species have not been formally described and published. Often give a number. Museum collections are full of such species waiting for a taxonomist to take on the task. Applies to all species - plants/animals - the lot.

Followed up your suggestions, and Juncus continuus is best fit, so am making that suggestion.
Several characteristics do not match for J. sarophorus (culm firmness, culm colour, type of pith, description of cataphylls ...) and few don't match for Juncus flavidus (culm firmness, pith character). J flavidus

Juncus continuus
