A good find; a rare plant and a new orchid species for Tuggeranong Hill Reserve.
User's notes
Need some help with this one, as I'm guessing which greenwood based on flower height - bit over 10cn I think - and colour - more prominent white parts. But really, I have no idea which

You are correct in your ID. Similar species that would also occur in that area are Diplodium ampliatum which has a larger flower that is much less plump at the base, and D. laxum which is greener and has a black/dark brown labellum. Both those species tend to flower in Autumn March to May.
