Anyone recognizes this?

Hello everyone, this is my first thread.

I'm trying to figure out the plant used as Athelas in the Lord of the Rings movie.
Since the movie was extensively recorded in New Zealand, maybe someone could have recognized the plant used.

I even started a stackexchange* thread on this topic and in a few hours there are already a bunch of people trying to figure it out from the pictures, but if anyone has infos, that would be even better, and I thought this would be one of the best places on earth to find them.

Thanks to all who will join.

Here all the moments where the plant is shown:

Anybody? At the moment one of the other botanical forum I'm in touch with proposed Chaenostoma cordatum cv. Snowflake, because of the small flowers,
narrowing the research to NZ weeds, here are some pictures https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=6803&taxon_id=501464
But I'd love to hear what you think of it
