User's notes
There were several plants in the area, but only two had flowers partially open. One of the plants that had an open flower was missing the hair tufts and post-anther lobe. The bigger plants in the area looked like they had self-pollinated and the flowers had not opened.

Rob with that thin channeled leaf and that hooded post-anther lobe, notched but not grooved, this looks like T. pauciflora. I am assuming it is a small flower c. 20 mm?

Thanks Derek, yes, it was a small flower. I think I would agree it is most likely a T. pauciflora.
