User's notes

The flowers on this caladenia were quite tiny. It resembles C moschata, but appeared half the size of C moschata in the area. It was very white with pale yellow calli. The leaf was narrow and around 20 cm long.

Rob apart from the smaller size these look like the white form of C. moschata and I can not think what else they would be other than C. moschata.

Agree with your reasoning Derek, but these are definitely odd ones!
