The greenish yellow narrowly linear leaves, lack of spent terminal inflorescences and sprawling habit are all good for Thesium. Lack of flowers or fruit may just reflect the previous dry conditions that meant that flowers didn’t appear this year. None of the stems we observed had any signs of lack of previous flowering in the form of the terminal inflorescence.
In contrast, there was a Stackhousia nearby, with a spent inflorescence. Locally, Stackhousia monogyna has darker green, more succulent and broader leaves, and the nearby Stackhousia with its darker green fleshy leaves matched that form.
