Thank you Dr Peter Lang for identifying, Dr Timothy Hammer for confirming and Dr Jennifer Gardner & Hannah and Grant for helping with the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found in the Murray Mallee SA, Adelaide Hills, Riverland and possibly elsewhere
A very atypical specimen.
Small petals, short, woolly, curved, linear, convex leaves, small brown buds.
2 specimens in close proximity, in sand, looking the same.
Walking up to them we thought they were Eutaxia microphylla; clearly not of course.
Peter informed us these are under review and the name will likely change soon.

This species is classed as

LC (Least Concern)

in the Murray Mallee, SA, by DENR (Regional Species Status Assessments, July 2010)
