We were used to seeing the big Corybas in the
wild, but these new ones were oh, so small! It was very difficult to
see them. The flower is less than half the size of the others.
They hid in the open, looking very much like Dichondra (or its close
relative) but they hug the ground very closely - this is the give-away.
They are found in 2 areas, this one and one at Portland. Photographed on the Mornington Peninsula. |
