I think this is likely to be C.jeanesii, but the flower was quite tattered.

Are you aware of any records of C. jeansii in the area? I thought there might have been a record out near Tallaganda, but I don’t know any more than that.

I think Tobias Hayashi had one further along the road from where this is, (Near the pine plantations). But I'm not sure.

For now we will leave it as sp. I have been told that the two calli at the base of the labellum are supposedly held on longer stalks than valida, but this plant is too far gone to tell.
