it is a little hard to tell from the photon Acaena ovina has uneven bristles on the burr and hairs across the underside of the leaf, while the bristles of A. echinata are more or less equal in length and hairs on the underside of the leaf are confined to the main veins

I have added two more photos showing the burr and the hairs on the underside of the leaf.

Thanks for the extra photos
