Solanum linearifolium and Solanum aviculare are superficially similar, both with lobed and unlobed leaves, but in the ACT the plant photographed will most likely be the former species, which also occurs on Black Mountain. Solanum aviculare is not included on the ACT plant census.

@Tapirlord I missed your comment until just now, planning an excursion for tomorrow and checking out sightings. Saw your sighting, and I agree. I had not considered simplicicalus but it is a better fit.

Lobelia simplicicaulis

Not trad. Looks like Pollia crispata, but there is no sale on the photos.

Dianella tasmanica

The flower spikes are over twice the length of the scapes, which is consistent in the population, therefore likely X. australis or X. glauca. If X. resinosa, I would expect to see the scape and spike length roughly even. The leaves/crowns are grey-green/glaucous coloured not green as would be expected in X. latifolia. The leaves also do not appear broad and have little flexion, which is always evident in X. latifolia on account of the very shallow and broad leaf cross-section shape.
If the area of this sighting were included, this would aid with a more accurate ID.

Xanthorrhoea sp.

Green leaves (not glaucous, therefore not consistent with X. resinosa or X. glauca), leaf width is not overly broad (unlikely X. latifolia or X. arborea), hemispherical, tidy crown (highly unlikely X. minor or X. macronema), location: within the Greater Sydney area, therefore this is likely X. media.
