These seem to me to be more the pauciflora type, with small, relatively few flowers and post anther lobe not as constricted

I find it really difficult. I have taken many photos as flowering is scattered widely and yes, there seems to be a mixture of larger and smaller flowers and plant size, the leaves seem similar though.

Were the leaves thin and slender? Could be T brevifolia if short and flat and broad
