Good work Matt and thanks. Orchids at Black Mountain are particularly important as there is some additional historical bushfire related analysis being done by ACT CPR. These are key sightings, so thanks.

Not certain, but looks more like T. pauciflora.

Thanks Tony. I was tossing over T. Pauciflora too. As far as I am concerned, they are identical twins so I suggested one species and hoped that I didn't confuse Terry with Jerry.
