Aaron, I thought this population was more likely to be S. australis and previously id as such [I'm not convinced that S. australis and S. alticola are even separate species; I might get Mark Clements view]

Thanks Tony. I had no idea which of the two it might be. Good thinking, yeah there doesn't seem to be a clear way to tell the difference between them etc.

I would imagine that if they are separate species you would need to dissect them and use a microscope to work out the difference.
