Besides it being a known site and one I believe I recognise the important feature here is the flower being on the erect short stem which neither of the other 2 ACT species have, as their flower forms and sits much closer to the leaf. You will need to revisit to see them fully open.

Thanks Derek, much appreciated, I see that now! From looking at my copy of jones, the ovary is quite pronouced in C.grumula compared to C.incurva, which is true from these photos?
