finally get to see a 'flower' or where the flower has been on this species. Usually only see the leaves. A bit surprised to see such a long flower spike and so prickly

That atlas of living australia considers this name to a synonym of "Acaena x ovina", I am unwilling to use the name A.agniphila without sorting this out.

If you would prefer, but that would be less exact than using a species ID which is possible off these images.
