Possible a very young plant of a species of Gamochaeta

Thanks Rosemary. I shall ask the property owner to keep an eye on it, so we can confirm it.

Early new growth of some species of Wahlenbergia also look like this.

True, but probably a few too many leaves in the rosette for a Wahlenbergia. We may not be able to monitor it any more as the property has been sold.....
