Depending upon which botanist you beleive this is Oligocheatochillus woolsii.
The flowers are about 200mm from the tip of the top fillament to the tips of the lower ones.
Not very common and a bugger to find. We walked right past these and found them on our way back to the car. :oops:
They were only about 20m from where we started :wink:
We were of course stoked to find them. We found a total of four plants spead along a 1Km ridge.

Great find Col
The 3rd, the close up gives great detail, and the top one shows the plant.
The 2nd one has all that plant around distracting from the orchid, but that is where it grows,

Cheers

#1 is a good shot. The background is nicely blurred but still gives an impression of the location.
