Pterostylis melagramma
An orchid about 150 mm high with about 6 flowers on the spike facing away from the stem. The hood was translucent and green with a yellow tip. Lateral sepals were drooping and the lip was yellow with a dark median stripe. Leaves were lanceolate, alternate and placed low on the stem.
Spotted in a nature reserve known for indigenous orchids - Baluk Willam
This orchid was not in bloom when I last visited this reserve. A lucky find.
Family: Orchidaceae

Nice spotting, Leuba. There's also a mission for orchids - https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/856... Hopefully you'll get to see one in bloom.
A newie.
