Colony spread across high damp slopes (@1700 to almost 2000 m) of Mt Jagungal. Almost all had finished flowering.

Not enough information to id; the habitat sounds right, but flowering a bit late and I can't see a leaf tip which should end just below the flower, so might not be C. turfosa.

Hi Tony, thanks. I checked some other photos I had but I have the same problem, no whole plants - sorry. The orchids further down the slope were all finished. The area was damp but rocky with many small ferns.
