Thanks Matt
The reason I suggested E. parviflora was that it was growing close to much shorter plants that were typical African Love Grass. They looked very different. Also, the taller grasses did not have the hairs in the the lower axils of the inflorescence that were present in the shorter form. However, this character appears to be variably expressed in African Love Grass, and the fact that the tall form is so abundant in the Crace locality, makes me think it may well be the tall form of E. curvula.

This one is Dipodium roseum because it has pale pink-white flowers and the tips of the tepals curve backwards. Dipodium punctatum tends to be more blotchy and has flat tepals. I realise there were some plants from the same location identified as D. punctatum, but looking at the images again they look a better match for D. roseum and so I have updated them.
Dipodium roseum
