Not spectacled in NSW. Black flying foxes P.alecto also have these reddish face masks and are quite common

Good evening !

Shown here:
• Leaf(s) tip not toothed.
• "Outer and inner tepals dissimilar (outer tepals shorter than inner tepals), the flower remaining bell-shaped."
• Inflorescence extensively branched.
• "Branches of the inflorescence predominately opposite or whorled" .

Do you have any more photographs of this plant please ?

Does this plant have decumbent growth please ?
(beyond a compact single tussock)

If it does, if possible please add a photograph showing this to assist all of us to recognise this species and for me to again re-confirm this identification .

For clarity, the meaning of decumbent:

.

Possibly a Ganodema - either not yet mature or distorted for some reason.

These specimens may be X. johnsonii, however, I can detect no morphological characteristics that separate these from X. glauca or X. malacophylla based upon the photographic images. A description of the leaf colour (green or glaucous) and characteristics (easy to snap when flexed or resistant to break, or hard and resistant when compressed between thumb and forefinger or spongey-like), and cross-section leaf shape (taken mid-way the length of the leaf), could be used as determinants to assist with a species ID.

Xanthorrhoea johnsonii
