The general appearance, the widely spreading sepals and the position of the leaf tip very close to the flowers all suggest C. cornuta to me.

Whichever one it is, it's another new orchid for the mountain.

Whatever, Karen Groenveld might be interested as she is the person most familiar with the Mt Jerrabomberra orchids
