That looks like a flower stem at the bottom left of photo. I believe this Cytostylis reniformis by the leaf shape and veining.

I agree with Ned on this one. I haven’t observed Cyrtostylis with such a pointed leaf. This leaf is much more cordate and less round than typical Cyrtostylis, and is purple beneath. Acianthus has messy venation (which is not always apparent), whereas Cyrtostylis has much neater venation consisting of several main veins and a network of finer veins.
