User's notes
Bushes are a bit scrappy - they are on a steep north facing slope with terrible soil probably planted.

Also not longifolia because longifolia flower heads are cylindrical. Rubida is a much better fit. The flower heads are a bit young to count the flowers but one of them appears to have about 10 flowers, in the range of 10-20;flowers per head of rubida. Also the gland on one of the phyllodes appears to be in the right place for rubida (1-4 cm above the base of the phyllode).
