The rosettes were unusually small in the dry conditions..... in Tuggeranong Hill Reserve, to the north-east of Theodore.

Not sure Michael, looks to be the right habitat for Hymenochilus, but of the few I have seen this year most have long since had withered rosettes.

I would also add that orchid rosette leaves are usually spirally arranged whereas these are distinctly decussate.

Thanks Cath, I think they are just Centaury sp.
