Place the plant in front of a white or less green background in good lighting. Too much green and shading in this picture.

I’d say yes but it’s hard to tell. Can you get a pic of just the plant in some better lighting?

Yes, that's an Australis

### Sunny commented on 2023-09-15

It’s an Australis per my ID software. The images match.
