Flower and bud on single stalk, hairy tepals. Have I got the variety right? I have tried to compare species and varieties in CNM sightings but they are confusing.

Here is the VicFlora key tomthe varieties, which I find easier to use than PlantNet. They use the term Sepals where PlantNet uses Outer Tepals. Anther shape is a reliable character, sort of H-shaped in villosisepala. https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/key/2094
I will Photoshop your photo to try and get more contrast so I can see the anthers better.

i did not actually need to Photoshop. I found an anther sort of H-shaped in the top right hand flower. I think the other anthers might not be quite mature.
