Just explicitly checking diagnostic features and dimensions showing here, :
before confirming this identification:

• Leaves usually 2–4 cm wide ?

• Pollen presenter fusiform shaped, 2–3 mm long ?
– in the old inflorescence – infructescence, at the top of this first photograph here, with the original viewed at full resolution and zoomed in to this old inflorescence – infructescence .

(Fl. NSW glossary quotation: "fusiform [means]: spindle-shaped, i.e. narrower at both ends than at the middle." ).

@JasonPStewartNMsnc2016 Thank you.

The leaves are about 3 cm wide. I've added some further pictures regarding the inflorescences.

Thanks for your help on this.
