User's notes

Found some orchid leaves on Black Mountain that I am not familiar with. There were about 4 plants with leaves of this shape. They were among Speculantha rubescens, but wasn't sure if they were the same species given the difference in leaf shape.

Not sure Matt, may well be S. rubescens but the leaf shape is a bit unusual.

I was quite surprised by the shape, but I guess we are going to have to wait until they flower - if they flower...

I'm assuming its an autumn flowering species so if not Speculantha it could be a Diplodium.
