I don't have much experience with this species, but this plant matches the images that I've seen. Shrub was growing under a log.

The leaves in Cryptandra sp Floriferous are bigger and teh flower clusters are also denser and bigger

Cryptandra sp Floriferous leaf edges are curled under, as can be seen in the photos here. C. amara leaves are flat.

The leaves can be curved down in amara - and not sure that teh leaves are as strongly curved as usually found in sp. Floriferous - but I am happy to go with consensus of Andras and Ciaran
