User's notes

There seems to be a tiny basal leaf on this orchid. Growing on edge of steep gravelly bank facing north (that is, the steep bank means a lot of light is getting through). Surrounded by sparse Joycea tussock. 30cm from the other pair of greenhoods, and 10cm from another orchid of a different genus.

The basal rosette doesn't fully develop until flowering has finished.
