With Verbena incompta also in the ACT, good closeups of the flowers are needed to decide ehich of these two very similar species a particular sighting is. See http://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/3388551
Alex, square stems are diagnostic of many genera in the mint and verbena families.
