User's notes
3 individuals on eroded, disturbed ground with an otherwise high diversity understorey. My first thought is Stylidium, but I am not terribly familiar with this genus and the dramatic toothed margins seem a bit off.
Also briefly considered Plantago sp., but seems a little too tough and glabrous for any I am reasonably familiar with.

The toothed leaves suggest this is a plantain, but I can't think of a species with hairless leaves of the top of my head.

After a quick revisit, I am cautiously leaning towards a particularly glabrous Plantago hispida. P. gaudichaudii was also considered, but the lack of multiple conspicuous central veins seems to rule this out.

Hmm not particularly convinced, but plaintain does seem the more plausible option here

Kind of ironic for a species with the name "hispida" to be glabrous lol. We should be able to resolve this one, but I might need to do some digging, it's certainly unusual for a plaintain.
