User's notes
Lots of Thelymitra in this general area with some variation in leaf, flower and form (I'll post a few variations across several sightings). These two plants were the only two I could see in this location that were well back in the forest in semi shade (rather than on the roadside verge). They were also taller than the roadside plants - well over 45cm (roadside plants were all under 30cm tall). The more shaded position, flower colour, and longer stems (falling over on one plant) reminded me of the plants in the 2017 sighting 3387170 (identified as T. megcalyptra) but not sure the flower is exactly the same or if the leaf is as broad / ribbed on this sighting. A later similar sighting further up the road did definitely have a broader leaf - I'll add this separately. Glen
