Xyris complanata?

© Christoph Rupprecht

A lovely little flower from the Pine Ridge Conservation Park. I believe it is Xyris complanata (rather than Juncea for example), as the petal ends are rather tuberculate (yes, that’s what the literature says!). The intricacy of even the smallest plants still amazes me!
