Author's notes
Small number of leek orchids growing in sub-alpine bog at this location (about 15 in total still flowering) with a lot of variation in flowers. I've posted the main variations here as separate sightings (with the abundance number on each sighting reflecting the number of the particular variation). I've only gone with P. sphacelatum as there was no Prasophyllum sp in the list to choose ;) All of the plants in flower had no leaves or withered leaves - so I thought P. sphacelatum rather than P. tadgellianum. Other option might be P. canaliculatum I guess - as location is similar. Interested to see what the experts think! Glen

Given the location this would be P. canaliculatum. The colour tends to be either quite pale (as here) or a reddish brown. P. sphacelatum and P. tadgellianum tend to have fused lateral sepals.

Thanks Tony - I posted a few variations ... I'm guessing they might all be the same then ;) Cheers Glen
