Flag it on the taxon page (in this case Watsonia - find Watsonia: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/72425-Watsonia
Check on the taxon tab that the species is not there, by searching the taxa (top menu : other :: Taxa info) Check that it has not been sunk by selecting active and inactive taxa:
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/search?is_active=any&q=Watsonia+vicscutteri&utf8=%E2%9C%93
If it is not, all that is required is on the Taxon Page, click Curation, and then Flag it, giving the POWO link - e,g, https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/635062
No need to provide literature if it is already on POWO: if it is not in POWO you need to provide the paper (or alternatively wait a few months for it to go onto POWO).
Without a view of the involucre it's unfortunately not possible to tell which it is.
The outer terminal bracts, and parietal bracts, all typically have bristly margins.
Usually, the leaves also have bristly margins, but that doesn't seem to be 100% reliable as a character. To be sure one does unfortunately need to see the involucre.
I've noticed that G. linearis is much more common in KZN except for the higher mountains. It's interesting to look at their distribution maps on iNat so far

Note as per Tony Rebelo:
ID as genus Asparagus.
Add the project "Undescribed Species and Taxa" (you have to join it first)
In the field "New species reference and name:" add the text 'Asparagus decipiens MS'
To find all instances use this url, or alternatively click on the text "New species reference and name:" and select an appropriate option:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?verifiable=any&place_id=any&field:New%20species%20reference%20and%20name=Asparagus%20decipiens%20MS
(select the ID tool - after it is published and in the iNat dictionary - to update, but dont delete the observation field: it has historic value).
** Keep it simple. the field is sensitive to case, space and lace. I dont recommend using 'Asparagus decipiens (Baker) S.M.Burrows & J.E. Burrows, in prep.' - far too many options for mistyping variants.
One needs to see the flower base (calyx) from the side view.
it's actually useful to do this with all plant photos where there are flowers. A photograph of the flower from the side helps with IDing so many plant groups,
CC-BY (or CC-BY-NC) for observations [and not CC-BY-SA that we previously recommended).
CC-BY-SA for pictures and sounds (specific observations, sounds and pictures can be further restricted).
That decision goes back to before 2014, where GBIF ran a lengthy consultation, resulting in a decision to only support a limited set (CC BY, CC BY-NC and CC0) for occurrence datasets. More details are still available at https://www.gbif.org/news/82363/new-approaches-to-data-licensing-and-endorsement (especially the detailed community input collected, see the link to the summary of the consultation process at the bottom), as well as the report on the implementation, https://www.gbif.org/news/82812/licensing-milestone-for-data-access-in-gbiforg.
