Single flower, up a steep bank and back about 2m, so I couldn't see base of plant. didn't look to be quite the same as any of the other orchids I'd been seeing along the Fishing Gap track

The twisted labellum is a key feature of P. curta. Tidbinbilla is a good spot for them because they favour wetter areas around the mountains.
