I do not think the rosette of leaves in photo 1 belongs to the flowering stems. The main diagnostic between erythraea and tenuiflorum is that erythraea has a basal rosette of leaves and erythraea has a no rosette or occasionally a weakly developed rosette.

Thank you for highlighting basal rosette in photo. I didn't notice this initially
