Stackhousia subterranea
18 Oct 2024
*Stackhousia subterranea* – this looks like !
Thickened leaves.
Apparently in these two photographs, these growing stalks have underground joins by rhizomes.
In these two photographs, on these buds, I can just make out some saccate lower bracts at the bases of the most grown flowers' buds .

Quotation from Barker (2007):
"
*S. subterranea* differs from *S. monogyna*
s.str. by its horizontal roots deep in the soil, from which
clonal aerial stems or clusters of stems arise (Barker
1986, 1999), its thick rather fleshy leaves, its bracts
outwardly saccate in the basal half or two-thirds (Barker
1977, fig. 1A), ...
