I thought L.novae.Cambriae had diffuse inflorescence

I was placing emphasis on capsule colour as described by Flora Vic:
Admittedly inflorescence shape is like other L. ovata sighted recently: but capsule colour for L. ovata is given as ruby-red-oxblood red (PlantNet) .

Would you emphasise inflorescence shape over capsule colour ?

Hey Jane. Yes I would, infloresence is the first detail in the Plantnet key.

Inflorescence of several obviously pedunculate flower clusters or with only shortly pedunculate clusters(Luzula novae-cambriae)

Inflorescence a single ovate or globose head, or an oblong head with a few subsessile lower clusters (Luzula ovata)
