There were two groups of about 20 and 12. Thelys seem to be flowering profusely this year.

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
