I think this is a job for the experts. I hope your collecting permits come through soon. The bifurrowed leaves with prominent midrib below, and pale flowers, suggest S. graminifolium, but the leaf width and the fact that they do not appear to be glaucous (with a waxy bloom), suggest S. armeria. The authors of the original paper give a lot of detail about S. armeria which does not appear n the description of S. graminifolium.

Thanks Betty, the variability I have seen in this group of the Stylidiums around the ACT has often left me wondering what I have. Neither the PlantNET key or the one of Best et al. in Muelleria 27(2): 174-178 (2009) really seem to work for all the variability in the plants we have here, I haven't seen the papers of Jackson & Wiltshire 2001 and Raulings & Ladiges 2001 in Australian Systematic Botany so I don't know if they have anything else to offer
