If it is Logania, it is Logania albiflora. The leaves of Logania granitica, according to the Vicflora key, have rolled edges and are usually less than 10 mm long. I would prefer to see it in flower before making a definite ID. https://apps.lucidcentral.org/plants_se_nsw/text/entities/logania_albiflora.htm

Hi Betty, on second inspection I agree that this is likely to be L. albiflora. I have a specimen in our herbarium identified as L. aff. albiflora by Max Grey. It has consistently shorter leaves than the speciemen I submitted to CNM. I am pretty sure this is a Logania, it has a angular branches, leaves 20mm long, 1.5mm wide, slightly recurved, lower surface papillose. Inflorescence with 3 or more flowers. The only visible difference between the specimen I have in the herbarium and the one in the photo's is the leaf length and the length of the pedicles.

This is Logania granitica, which is the only species of Logania in the ACT. Logania albiflora, instead represents a widespread taxon which inhabits a variety of different ecosystems including coastal forests on limstone soils as well as higher altitude granitic ridges. Plants of the latter are now mostly considered to be L.granitica. I realise that the L.albiflora spilts remain somewhat controversial, but while both the ACT and CNM accept L.granitica we should use that name.

Also I'm not sure what Betty is saying, the leaf margins are clearly inrolled.
