New sp. for this site... the substrate was not particularly damp, so I am pretty confident of ID, very similar to small colony noted at Waitarere in Horowhenua... Will possibly flower next season... =)
Or Thelymitra hybrid. Found by Sally Bain in July. Still flowering mid August.
Thick leaves possibly due to exposure to salty winds. More protected leaves much thinner. Prob C. macranthus
Starting to flower within cloud forest. Few specimen in full flower many still in bud. By far the largest specimen I have observed of this species.
