This is a new recorded location for small snake orchid, which is only known from 8 other locations in the ACT. Two thirds of all the national records of this species come from the ACT.

The shape of the labellum suggests D. subalpina; it is more rounded in D. monticola. Did you notice how many leaves there were? D. subalpina has two and D. monticola more.

Dear Tony. Many thanks for your help. I have included an out of focus image that shows more of the plants, however it does not show the number of leaves. Peter
