For a while I thought it was A.californica. It looks just like A. californica
I saw elsewhere, and I found it wild growing in a garden of a friend in
California, but it must have migrated here from its native Eastern Australia. It has been identified by Dr. Alistar Hay.

In the spring of 1998, it started flowering, which should make it possible to finally ID the plant. The inflorescence lasted for about two weeks and had no discernible scent.

... and the general habit of the plant. It is about three feet tall, and spreads to about 4 feet across.
