mutated C. ustulata? was growing around other C.ustulata. Much more slender than the other plants.

Another peloric plant where the labellum hasn't developed normally! It's a very strange colour too. I agree it's probably C. ustulata, but it could be carnea or even something else. I don't think it's possible to say for sure without a proper labellum, so perhaps it should be just Caladenia sp. for now. It would be interesting to go back and see what else might come up.

Thanks a lot for the info Cath.

It was surrounded by C. ustulata but looked nothing like them...!
