Yeah (I've some time available to me now) :

Please confer this sighting with these species below and so on
and double check it as it does appear more or less different to usual *Poranthera microphylla* in these two photographs.
Always the question in botany of,
do these plants have differences to the degree of a different species,
or do these plants have differences to the degree of merely variations within the species, ie. here within the circumscription of *Poranthera microphylla* .

These two species below have previously been called *Poranthera microphylla* :

• *Poranthera leiosperma* Halford & R.J.F.Hend. :

• Poranthera oreophila Halford & R.J.F.Hend. – a highland species, not likely at this sighting's location :

• and so on ... .
