Serrated leaves

Yes.
Interesting.
I notice here:
• glandular hairs below the lowest flower on the scape, a little bit fine scape narrow diameter .
• not so many flowers at least yet compared to usual in: Stylidium graminifolium and Stylidium armeria subsp. armeria .
• the leaves have pale colour, more upright (not horizontal nor a rosette),
• the leaves' serrations as said above and notice the serrations do not continue all the way to the leaves bases along the margins of these leaves – more like averaging 3/4s or 4/5s the way down showing here in some of the leaves in photograph 3 .

Hence in currently available published names, IMHO seems partly closer to *Stylidium montanum* and yet seems to have some genes' introgression from *Stylidium graminifolium* (in the strict narrow sense) .

Please see more information in the publications in the species pages, including links to, citations of and summary part quotations of, most relevant scholarly published botanical articles,

I feel like I am seeing serrations until the edge of the leaf, but I could be misinterpreting. Would not be unhappy calling this S.montanum

Also how about callling this Stylidium armeria according to Raulings and Ladiges (2001) – levity for a moment for all reading here (not serious) .

Seriously in professional botany ways, I temporarily label this: " Stylidium cf. montanum et cf. graminifolium? (Crookwell district) "
according to taxa concepts in Elisa Raulings and Pauline Y. Ladiges (2001) and subsequent clarifications by Juliet Wege (2009, 2017) – see here : Stylidium montanum .
