Not convinced it is B. montanus, could be B. umbrinus. Large colony around 30 plants based on a quick search in the rain.

Looks like umbrinus. Montanus has a broader, less skinny labellum, and the tips of the sepals are typically reddish and curl inwards a little.

Yeah. I suspect there are a lot more of them around than we realise, but are underreported because they camoflauge well and occur in areas that are difficult to access. Keep those records coming!
