The tall Gastrodias with crowded flowers in the montane regions of the ACT are now considered to be G procera. G entomogama is now considered to be the same as G procera. G sesamoides is thought to occur occasionally around Canberra itself, and is shorter and less robust, with pale, stubby flowers.
