Thanks for trying to identify, Jase. Really appreciate your time moderating. Was incredibly windy and hard to photograph, I was hoping the flower and close-up of the stem would be enough given it was so distinctive in reality. I'll delete this and try for better photos next time I visit.

Don't delete this – it's fine – i was just asking for more photographs if you have any more available,
while the work checking the botanical keys was in progress for my period of about five minutes.

All done, carefully checked and positively identified using evidences shown in these three photographs.

For example, let's all pay respect to this plant by noticing:
• this flower has: sepals (calyx), four white petals, the four stamens situated exserted between, along the split between, each of these four petals;
• this flower here's long pedicel joins the peduncle at a point with other branches' stubs indicating that this inflorescence has/had a total number of flowers over time of more or less three flowers;
• the thick matted hairs on the stem between the small short leaves,
etc.

Impressive work, Jase. Thanks. The other photos were too blurry.
