I suspect that this is an example of the plant that Charlie Stirton mentioned in his 1986 description of E. rossii, which he has also called "E, superpositum". Long peduncle, box-like inflorescence, hairy stems and peduncle, leaf shape.

Kleinmond fat Psoralea eater reared

28 Aug 2016:

Collected large individual of previously failed caterpillar on Psoralea aculeata next to footpath on the circle walk above Palmiet bridge.

The caterpillar stopped eating and started wandering around its tub.

1 Sep 2016:

When I provided soil from the caterpillar's collection site it immediately disappeared into it.

10 Jan 2017:

Adult moth emerged, surprisingly small and drab after such a jolly fat caterpillar. Only goes to show... something.
