This looks like fusca which I think would be a very significant sighting of the region

There are two plants here (photos taken at different points along the trail). One plant in first image, another in the second two. I assumed they were the same species, but just flagging in case relevant

Hmmmm. Tentatively i've identified both sets of photos to D.fusca through the Plantnet key. The key seperates D.fusca from D.stricta by the presence of papillose hairs on the stem (smooth in D.stricta); the stems of these plants appear to be hairy. I would like to do a little bit more digging into this one before confirming however, it is an atypical site for D.fusca and it would be a VERY typical site for D.stricta being in that sandstone peppermint country a little closer to the coast.
