First SCNM sighting of this unamed orchid, would be great to get a few more records.

I was surprised to see these flowering, two months after I first saw them in this area (these were close to some blotched hyacinth orchids)

Unnamed species known as Calochilus sp. aff. gracillimus at this stage. Important to keep a lookout for it in other areas. Late-flowering habit, colourfully marked flowers with red beard are important features to note.

Thanks for the insight David, I have added the species to taxonomy, hopefully, we get a few more sightings of it. Great find Lisa!!

Wow - who knew? And I'd walked past them several times, until I happened to look and see them. I'm learning so much - thank you both.
