It could also be Hibbertia calycina. A photo of the back of a leaf showing whether the middle part between the rolled edges is at or above the edges (Hibbertia riparia) or below the edges (Hibbertia calycina) is needed to differentiate them.

Photo of back of leaf added (it came from another camera so it sometimes takes a while to select photos).

I have added a closeup. Does this show the hairs sufficiently? The Plantnet descriptions of the sepals are not very helpful. Flora of the ACT says H. calycina is a 'member of the H. stricta complex' which we seem to be finding out. AVH shows H. stricta as coastal with H. riparia widespread so it will be interesting to see the review. How does ALA cope with the changes in ID for our sightings?

Definite simple hairs on a sepal in photo 3.
There has been a thorough revision of Hibbertia recently with riparia no longer in NSW at all.
I have no idea what ALA will do. They stated a few minths ago that they were developing software that could deal with individual sightings. When I suggested years ago that they should delete incorrect records, they said they could not. Something about links being disrupted.
