Sarcochilus sp. I'm not sure if the spots on the flower stems are useful for ID. It's possible the green buds could indicate S. australis?

Are there any other Sarcochilus sp that far south? Must admit I am not as much across my lithophytes.

I spoke to a few other people about this one, and they think it is most likely to be S. falcatus based off of leaf shape.

Given its a new one for CNM maybe I'll put as Sarc sp at the moment and we can upgrade to Sarc australis if/when you get photos of the flowers! Exciting

Subsequent photos of this plant confirm Sarcochilus falcatus.
