Both Xanthorrhoea glauca and Xanthorrhoea australis occur in the area covered by CNM. A rule of thumb that often tells them apart is the length of the flower stalk - 0.65-1.4 m in glauca, under 0.6 m in australis. However, you really need someone to look carefully at the bracts surrounding the flowers to be sure.
