Long flat winged stems match S. micranthum.

I reported these plants after I saw a post on ACT & SE NSW Invasive Plants which suggested S. micranthum and S. iridifolium. If I read APNI correctly micranthum is the accepted name. The same day, I removed S. rosulatum which is much smaller (sighting not reported).
