Morton NP / Bundanoon is incongruous with the distribution of X. glauca. This geographic area is consistent with the almost indistinguishable species, X. australis.

Xanthorrhoea glauca subsp. angustifolia

Yeah a bit of a mistake from my past (considerably less aware) self. Cheers for the pickup!

X. glauca angustifolia does not occur in Morton NP. There is a definitive boundary between the two species, whereby X. australis occurs on the eastern scarp of the Dividing Range and along the milder coastal regions in SE NSW, by contrast, X. glauca angustifolia occurs further inland west over the Dividing Range in NSW. This region is not consistent with X. glauca's distribution.

X. glauca angustifolia does not occur this far east in NSW.

Why not identified to Thelionema caespitosum ?
Tepals lengths?
Here leaves' widths ?
Here inflorescences much taller than and well above the foliage ?
