Have taken a punt that they are T. pauciflora?

Sorry I think you have missed them. The leaf looks about right but I think we would need to see the flower.

Thanks Derek. Have updated my user notes as I didn't realise I was looking at spent flowers. C'est la vie! Yes I had taken a punt they were T. pauciflora based on the leaf although I was concerned that it had 6 flowers rather than the typical range of 1-5 indicated in the respective orchid guides of Jones and Egan et al.
