User's notes

Plants similar to those found by Michael Mulvaney on 24 Sept (sighting 3360172). Growing among lots of normal C. fuscata, these plants lack a normal labellum. It is replaced by an unmodified petal. Image 4 shows one of these 'peloric' plants at top and a normal one below.

What do you think, Tony? I'm pretty sure it's a peloric Caladenia fuscata. I can't think what else it could be.
