The leaves are without frilly edges and narrow enough to be Wahlenbergia capillaris. However, I cannot see whether they are opposite each other or alternating up the stems.

Betty - I attempted to edit this sighting to add a photo of the leaves. I have tried twice clicking on edit and adding the new photo, and both times the Nature Map added a completely new sighting dated 10 April and left the old sighting the same. I am sorry but please could you identify the new 10 April sighting with the leaf photo and I will then delete this one. Thanks Jacky

How weird. It looks as if I confirmed the other sighting and made the comment on this one. The sighting I confirmed has a blow up of the leaves. https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Sightings/4256189
Rohan is looking into little glitches in the database at present. I will tell him about this one.
