D. laxum has also been recorded in the area before, so I would be inclined to say Diplodium sp., unless you know for certain it is D. revolutum.

That is fine by me. It is the first time I have been in there. The area has large patches of rosettes but none in flower that I could see. By contrast, other areas south of the saddle where in past years I have recorded many rosettes (but few flowers), there is next to nothing so far this year. Instead, Corunastilis clivicola, which we only found last year, is quite widespread.

Yes it has been quite a good year for Corunastylis. I am surprised you are struggling to find Diplodium flowers. That is an excellent spot for them. Maybe they are being quite secretive this year.

I think the Diplodiums have had a bad season in general, or at least that's my experience. Not sure why the Corunastylis have done relatively well
