New ACT location of this species which is rarely recorded in the ACT, and only known from a few locations. This record is notable in that it is disjunct from the other known locations.

Could also be Diuris debdrobioides, but it's difficult to tell as the plant has withered up.

Thanks Matt. After looking in an orchid book I've added another photo that shows the yellow callus, although its a bit blurry.

Thanks Emily. The yellow callus in combination with the uniform purple colouring looks good for D. punctata.
