User's notes

These leaves look different to the other colonies so suspect they are not Corysanthes.

To me this looks more like Corysanthes hispida, which grows in this area. The veins don't look right for Cyrtostylis (which is also in the area).

Thanks for that, it is very helpful. I knew they were different but got them the wrong way round. I hope I will now be able to better identify the different leaves in future. Great help thanks.
