Is it perhaps Caledonia? I have many of these in my garden. I don’t recall seeing this native pictured at the orchid presentation at yesterday’s bio blitz.

Interesting. It was a gift (20 years ago) and the gifter told me they occurred under and around hero house opposite Pambula golf course. I’ll check with her as to origin.

My gifter told me she has seen them in the wild on rocks near Brogo dam!
