The leaves are too withered for a decision to be made whether this is gibbosa or dentata.

Thanks! Is the flowering time in January an indicator at all? According to PlantNET the dentata is a winter flowerer?

The photo of dentata in my book was taken in summer. Data on flowering times and distributions in Plantnet for many species have not been updated for about twenty years. They had a strict word limit on fact sheets when the paper Floras were written. Any long detailed fact sheet is recent, so it is easy to tell if a fact sheet has been revised recently or not.
