User's notes

I'm confused by these plants; the leaves look most like P.lanceolata but the flowers do not. Note some Microtis in between the plantago.

Might be a variation of P. varia. There seems to be some limited evidence of lumps on the edge of the leaves which is more typical of this species, and hence the name can be quite variable.

Agree the infloresence doesn't match P.debilis.
