The diagnostics for Dianella longifolia as opposed to Dianella revoluta are the colour of the stamens (yellow for longifolia; brown to black for revoluta) and the edges of the leaves (flat for longifolia; rolled down for revoluta). A comment about either of these would be helpful.

Sorry. These are the same plants shown in sighting 4253421. They were previously identified by Dave Albrecht.
