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). This single plant was on the roadside and was under 30cm tall. The leaf was narrower than plants in nearby sighting 3876252 which were much taller and growing in semi shade. Similar to other nearby 2018 sightings 3872583 and 3872584 (TBC - maybe T. alpina?) and nearby 2017 sighting 3387168 (identified as T. alpina). Glen
