The buds indicate A. longifolia subsp. longifolia but the pods are atypical. I have just examined another A. longifolia but there are no old pods on it.

Are you sure there are not two species growing close together? The pods are on one branch and the flower buds are on the other. Flora descriptions do not really differentiate the leaves.

Photos added. Pods are curled but about 4mm wide constricted between seeds and 50-70mm long.

New closeup of flower buds added. These immature spikes are A. longifolia. I think the old pods were hanging on because of the sheltered position. This is a multistem shrub rather than a small tree. The A. implexa nearby are flowering at present with an open structure of inflorescence.
