Thank you Jason. I was misled by the length and prostrate look of the stems. Perhaps growing in that shady bushy area led to that etiolated appearance.

Yep . This makes sense for us both ! – shade makes etiolation in sun loving herbaceous foliage, vigorously growing, ground plants .
I'm having sightings of this and more species since the late 1980s when i lived in SE. Melb., so i've seen many within this species natural populations' genetics variations .
Thus:
• the flowers including the stamens including their hairs placements and forms,
• buds of flowers with a tepal(s)' lobe at their base,
• finished flowers in which the tepals spiral up,
• of course the nearly unique pattern of the foliage .
– provide me experience–based, field spotting check features,
which i used checking this sighting's photographs as well – especially shown in your second photograph here .
Remembering the importance of the differences you recognised –here etiolation in shade for this sun lover plant– ;
the same recognition of patterns' nuances provides us each the awareness and knowledge to sight new records and even new species to Eu–Au botany (especially in northern Au and PNG and so on,
where many Eu–Au botanically undescribed plants' species occur . ) .
