@Tapirlord On iNaturalist several people think it's Prostanthera subalpina.
Guy Taseski - Technical Officer for the School of BEES at UNSW and part-time curator of the John T Waterhouse Herbarium. Ex-Herbarium Support Officer for the National Herbarium of New South Wales. Interested in all flowering plant species, with a particular focus on Australian Lamiaceae (mainly Prostanthera). Also interested in the distribution of weeds, particularly feral Opuntia cactus
Steve Taylor - Long career as a Ranger and Biosecurity program manager with the ACT Parks and Conservation Service. Now a citizen science volunteer. Main interests are Eucalypts (a keen student) and environmental weeds (hard to ignore).

Hey Korinne, you’re right this is P.subalpina as are all ACT plants. I haven’t processed the split on Naturemapr yet
