A Victorian has suggested that this is C. grumulus. I can't decide; I'll leave it to others.

In my residential garden!! First time this has popped up in 18 months of living here. No idea what fungus it could be associated with; have never seen so much as a single fruiting body come out of my dry, infertile soil, and no known ectomycorrhizal trees around.

Id confirmed by Lachlan Copeland and Dean Rouse - who said maybe a bit of keltonii influence in this specimen.

Thin Pencil Orchid (Dendrobium teretifolium)Observer
hughberryDescription
The main reason I’m uploading this observation is to mark the location of a potential clean up site for National Parks.
Someone has gone camping on the pristine shores of Narrawallee Inlet and left behind rubbish strewn over a 50 metre area.
Battery powered whipper sniper, butane gas stove, Plastic bags and wrappers, 2 crab nets, PVC piping, PFAS coated cooking pans and much more. So sad that people do this.

mattwardDescription
Tag naming it 'frog'. Not sure what this is. I would have said just a freak, but there were two plants about 7 metres apart, so... Plant 400-600mm tall, thin narrow-channeled leaf, 2 bracts, 4-6 flowers. I thied to find something else like them but no good, apart from one other slightly similar I found in Welling a while back... The substrate was shallow volcanic almost brittle quartz over basalt I think... Any thoughts?@haydenj @bill-nz @joedillon @robbiegraham @ianstgeorge

Several individuals in a loose colony. Hybrids? Seems labellum too bristly for P. pusilla, sepal free-points too long and flowers too upright for P. squamata and sepal free-points too short for P. aciculiformis (or its Beechworth variant). P. hamata also flowering nearby.

Enfield State Park.
I think it's a pure yellow form of sulphurea but it could also be orientis (which is known to have pure yellow forms).
