@Tapirlord I believe this may be at the same location I visited today. If so, Tobias and Gavin Phillips (whom Lachlan recommended as an expert in this species group) think these plants are C oligantha, or possibly C sagittifera. The labellums have too much red to be C cornuta. Something to consider for the ID on this sighting?

Thanks for that.
There has been a bit of chatter in the last few days about the Corunastylis at that site.
Fast coming to the conclusion that it is C oligantha.
Photographed in 2022 and 2023 also.
