User's notes

Estimated heights <=40cm. Forward projection of dorsal sepal and labellum and blotching seems to suggest D. semilunulata rather than more common D. pardina on this site?

I'm very conflicted by a lot of the Diuris from this area. They remind me a lot of D. nigromontana, but they also seem intermediate between D. pardina and semilunulata.

I agree with Matt here, these are a tad confusing re D semilunulata or D nigromontana. They don't look too much like D pardina to me

Updating to D nigromontana given apparent consistency in plants from this area
