A colony of greenhoods (Diplodium), possibly D. ampliatum. Three plants had already flowered, however, there was not enough of the flowers left for me to identify them. There were many non-flowering plants. I'm not sure whether this colony has been recorded before, so I'm recording it now because of the threat to this area in regards to proximity to potential housing development.

Almost certainly D. ampliatum over there. It has a preference for dry forest. However we can’t rule out D. laxum which may occur in some of the more shaded, wetter areas of dry forest.
