User's notes
The extremely short broad leaf caught my eye on this orchid. It was 13cm long from ground level and 18mm wide. The flower stalk was 42 cm tall when first measured. Flowers never fully opened and most of them possibly never did, I had a lot of trouble getting even these badly lit images. It didn't look like other T.brevifolia I've seen but it would have to be given the short leaf??

T. brevifolia can have leaves to 20mm wide. Another possibility is T. latifolia, but there is not much info on that species and it is mostly a species of SA.
