Yes, owheeli, I think you may be right. The flowers are very similar, but in comparing the two, the leaves on dilatatum are more like the ones in Adrian's spotting.

It looks to me like Stylidium dilatatum, not graminifolium.

Not sure about the species name...but, fascinating plants! I've never seen one, so thanks!
