User's notes

Just a single stand - with several seed heads (about 7). I first thought it may be E. ovatus - but these are typically smaller. If you need more details of the plant for a successful identification, I am happy to go back and take more defining shots. But tell me what you require.

E. cheelii is regarded as a rare plant, & if you have found it a positive ID would be good. If you are confident, maybe you could take a specimen to ANBG.
