What distinguishes apiculatum from semipapposum is the leaves and stems. I am not sure from the sample of the leaves and stems that you have provided which it is.

Betty I have added close-up photos of leaves thanks.

The late season leaves coming from the bases of older leaves are indicative of semipapposum. https://apps.lucidcentral.org/plants_se_nsw/text/entities/chrysocephalum_semipapposum.htm
I am at the beta testing stage with the app, so not long now.

Leaves appear woolly on both upper and lower surfaces, not green upper of C. semipapposum. Photo 2 does not show old dead stems usually seen on C. semipapposum. From the habit and size of flower clusters I would say C. apiculatum. Cosgrove 'Photograpic Guide to Native Plants of the ACT' has some good photos.

Thanks Mike. Always useful to have a local book about these highly variable species.
