While at first look this looks like D. chryseopsis a close inspection of the labellum side lobes reveals this plant is not true to type. These large unusual side lobes appear to exceed any natural variation and while D. chryseopsis is a parent species this would appear to be a hybrid. There are many Diuris hybrids in this area with D. chryseopsis often being involved. I believe this to be the same plant as record https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4399919.
