Pretty sure this is the native Ricinocarpos bowmanii (western wedding bush).

Genus and species are completely new to me - so that's a bit exciting !
These flowers don't resemble web photos of Ricinocarpos bowmanii very well, except for one land-care group which alos remarks "Noted in Lower Adelong subcatchment in the Adelong Falls vicinity" which is exactly where my observations were made.

Ricinocarpus bowmanii is not on local list and not on global list - what happens now ?

I've added the species here. I do agree with this suggestion, there seems to be a fair few records in this general area. In regards to your research Jane, I'm almost wondering if the population in this area could be slightly different than the main population/s further north? Seems to be a bit disjunct from the main range of the species, and I do tend to agree it does look a bit different... Maybe more research/specimen collection required?
