User's notes

This species appears very occasionally in this area amongst a large number of L. filiformis and L. longifolia. It generally has fewer leaves which often sag/lie down rather than stand upright. The fruit develops at the base of the plant.

The fruiting stem is much too long for L. bracteata

The fruit is much larger than L filiformis, (also bigger than L. longifolia and more spherical). Leaves are also longer than L. filiformis. I'll take my ruler with me today and get some measurements.

Definitely not L. bracteata. The flowers & fruit are very close to the soil.
