The tall Gastrodias with crowded flowers in the montane regions of the ACT are now considered to be G procera. G sesamoides is thought to occur occasionally around Canberra itself, and is shorter and less robust, with pale, stubby flowers.
This one looks somewhat slight and not as robust or crowded as typical G procera but I still that it is that species rather than G sesamoides.
