User's notes
Expect number is plants is likely to be more than the 10 quickly counted plus also saw more at other locations further west but didn't take pics and GPS them. Despite lack of clarity and resolution in close up shots of flowers by zooming in on bottom flowers, labella look relatively short and lack characteristic the wavy and more pronounced side notching of M. unifolia. I'll have to remember to take a hand lens next time!
