This may be X. resinosa, however, the pre-anthesis packing-bract colour appears lighter brown than what is typically seen in X. resinosa, and is more consistent with X. concava. X. resinosa spike is usually a darker-brown colour than what appears in this image, however this may just be the camera not picking up the correct colour tone. For me it remains inconclusive as to which of these two affiliated species it may be.

Xanthorrhoea resinosa

The flower scape lengths in relation to the spike is characteristic of X. resinosa. In X. australis I would expect to see reduced scape lengths and longer spikes across this population.

No problem Beth! I only recently found out it loves wet country under tea-tree myself. They get HUGE, to nearly tree proportions in this kind of habitat

Of course! Thanks Ciaran I couldn't quite place it. Used to seeing them looking so scraggly. This was such a fresh and happy plant sheltered in this wet spot.
