HI Charles There are definitely 2 forms of Pimelea at the heathland, which I dutifully sent to the herbarium in Sydney for checking. I had initially thought they were the 2 subspecies of P. linifolia i.e. subsp. linifolia and subsp. caleyi. They both came back as subsp. linifolia. But maybe one is P glauca? I definitely will take the trouble to work through the key when I get home.

On my photos of P. glauca, the leaves are very grey/waxy as you might expect from the name. I'm happy with subsp linifolia having quite variable leaf width. I've got some shots of plants taken in exposed sites in heath with very wide leaves and short internodes, and plants in forest with very narrow leaves.
