The flower looks right for Dampiera - but is that the foliage of the plant to the right? (I don't think so, as that looks perhaps like Equisetum horsetail?). Dampiera stricta has flat, narrow elliptical leaves (I can see some a little like that behind the flower?). Dampiera is a genus containing 60-70 species, so I'm not confident to place ID!
