Gastrodia entomogama is correct but recent consensus has included them with G. procera rather than separate. Nomenclature is never constant other than constantly changing.

Hi @DerekC can i confirm that entomogama should be combined with procera in the taxonomy? Noting entomogama is listed as Rare, and procera is only local native? Or leave separate. Thanks! Jen
