This was the only one n flower, but a couple about to come out were also spotted by Suzi.

Looks like something in the pauciflora complex. I don't have my reference books up here, so suggestions from anyone else?

I am not sure enough of the key features are visible in the photo to ID this to species, but the apex doesn't appear to be more deeply notched as in peniculata. I think leaving this as pauciflora complex is the sensible decision.
