Cheryl may be I have jumped the gun with these and Matt and Tobias may have more to say.

Derek, yes you may have seen that I messed up with my first lot of pics - included two different plants in one sighting (assuming they were the same because they were within 1 metre of each other). I went back and photographed them separately, and perhaps they are different species, I don't know. Would like to see what Matt and Tobias say.

I am happy to call this B. umbrinus as the labellum doesn’t to be broad/large enough to be B. montanus.

Hmm one of these cases where it would be obvious in the flesh but much harder from photos. Agree the labellum from these angles looks along the lines of umbrina but lateral sepals still look quite small. Lets stick with umbrina, noting it doesn't look typical to me

Cheryl sent me a few more photos of this plant by email, and I'm convinced now its the montanus type, not umbrinus. I'll change the ID accordingly
