Patersonia sericea var. longifolia is the correct name and it is probably this species.

According to Australian Plant Census, there are two varieties, which have had various names over the years: Patersonia sericea var. longifolia (syn. Patersonia longifolia) and Patersonia sericea var. sericea. Both varieties occur widely on the south coast. The narrow leaves of the former (1-2mm wide) and mostly smooth and ciliate, differentiate this variety. As with some species, there may be disagreement between Canberra and Sydney!
