Maybe it does look more like Anne's bulbocodium ssp nivalis

I think it is N. bulbocodium L. subsp. nivalis Graells, or var. nivalis (Graells) Baker. In Flora Iberica is only supported N. bulbocodium L.In my oppinion it is of course N. nivalis Graells, a plant that only grows from Gredos to Guadarrama Mt. Ranges and North Portugal.
To be fair on NZ MAF: if a seed has a new name, but can be traced back to an old name of an allowed species it is OK, and if they don't find the connection they will accept it if you can prove its pedigree. I have trouble getting my head round things like finding "Alstroemeria yellow" is on the allowed list but "Alstroemeria patagonica", which has yellow flowers, isn't!
What we need is a nice new monograph...
