User's notes
A fantastic puzzling Diuris. Very subtly marked. Bright yellow. Short green fat lateral sepals. Significant lateral petals with subtle fold along centreline. Labellum with tiny ragged side lobes. Leaves had been chewed a bit but the topmost is quite wide and flat. Back of dorsal sepal with many delicate short brown markings.

Any suggestions as to the species combination?
Also a few intriguing likenesses to Diuris nigromontana (Black Mountain Leopard Orchid)

With that colour and in that location, it could perhaps even have some amabilis heritage.
