I've had this little native for a while, only about 10cm tall, seems to be fairly slow growing, any ideas?

Ok i may have this solved, the QLD herbarium got back to me saying it may be Phyllanthus microcladus which is an endangered species in the euphorbia family. Seems very easy to grow and has a number of fruits on it, will deff be collecting the seed as it ripens.

I agree with that. I have not heard of this plant but a check on PlantNET reveals it's identity.

Does it have white sap?
