Oligochaetochilus rufa, or Pterostylis rufa. I found some virtually identical in leaf/bud development on Governor's Hill at Goulburn on Wednesday. Thriving on dry, hard yellow rock gravel.<br />If you can get back to that spot in 3 weeks or so, it would be good to check ID properly.<br />The "rufas" are famous for liking hard, dry locations.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.com
