Yeah (I've some time available to me now) :
Please confer this sighting with these species below and so on
and double check it as it does appear more or less different to usual *Poranthera microphylla* in these two photographs.
Always the question in botany of,
do these plants have differences to the degree of a different species,
or do these plants have differences to the degree of merely variations within the species, ie. here within the circumscription of *Poranthera microphylla* .
These two species below have previously been called *Poranthera microphylla* :
• *Poranthera leiosperma* Halford & R.J.F.Hend. :
https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Poranthera~leiosperma
• Poranthera oreophila Halford & R.J.F.Hend. – a highland species, not likely at this sighting's location :
https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Poranthera~oreophila
• and so on ... .
