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:
