Not sure, could be T. ixioides, but I am more inclined to think it is T. juncifolia as the spots are relatively large.

Thanks, Tony. I thought it looked like the column is hooded but it certainly isn't very clear. Unfortunately when taking the picture I didn't know what details to focus on yet! It was also extremely dark blue, I remember, but that probably doesn't mean much.

The main feature to focus on is the column, which is similar in T. juncifolia and T. ixiodes, both not hooded and the dorsal surface covered in finger like glands. The flowers are smaller in T. juncifolia.
