I am inclined to think this is Brachyscome radicans rather than Brachyscome obovata, which usually occurs at higher altitudes.

I don’t think it is scapigera, which has 45-90 petals. Radicans has 14-43 petals and grows in bogs and alomg stream banks. Obovata has 25-30 petals, and likes it wer too.

Definitely not a wet area. Sandy granite soils on exposed hillside. Growing in dense Themeda. OEH staff coming for a field day near by on Friday to share the Tarango leek Orchid with locals. I will get them to drop in at the cemetery and see what they think.

Looking forward to hearing what they say. After all this discussion, I am coming to think it could be an exotic. And not a Brachyscome at all.
