I am not seeing a photo?

This is probably T. pauciflora, but without seeing the leaf I can't rule out similar species.

Leaf was single purple red colour similar to the stem you can see in the photo. (Apologies for forgetting to get a photo of it - I was running and time poor)

Sorry, what I meant to ask was whether the leaf was broad, slender, flat, ribbed or a combination of those.

I think it was definitely slender but I don't recall if it was flat or ribbed

Most likely T. pauciflora then.
