User's notes
Growing on dried out muds beside lagoon where water levels are receding.
Keyed out to Lobelia pratioides in Plant Net (PN), and in FloraVic (FV) and generally fits description given: noting that pedicels are described as having spreading hairs (PN) but as minutely pubescent (FV). Lobelia pratioides is essentially a species of Victoria (records in ALA) with occasional records in NSW and Tas.
Hoping someone can solve this !

I don't think this is Isotoma fluviatilis.
The corolla is split to the base (a key characteristic for Lobelia, acc to PlantNet, and FloraVic ).
Isotoma fluviatilis is a prostrate mat-forming species, whereas this is erect.
