One of the Bunochilus species I think? Looks like I got there about two weeks to late for the flowers, but since it seems to be a genus of interest I thought it worth reporting. Although it was closer to the road then indicated by the GPS.

Tony, did you identify this based on location? or is there some other trick? Given I can't seem to separate the species even when they flower any other clues to their identification would be useful.

As you may be aware from discussion elsewhere there is some uncertainty about the local Bunochilus spacies. However, at this stage there are only two known species, and B. montanus is the only one recorded with some certainty at this altitude and location.
