I believe this one has been moved to Styphelia, I'm just waiting to get my hands on the paper before making the change on CNM.

Thanks " Tapirlord", appreciated. I also saw this species referred to as a Styphelia, in recent published images. However I will defer to the expert flora taxonomists on this. Regards, Max.
