User's notes

_Microtis_ (genus) 'onion orchid' . Finishing flowering, labellum lobes browning off. In this condition and with reviewing this single photograph after 9 years suggested species identifications are too easy yet confirming any one species identification remains difficult, to disprove any other candidate species. Heathland sanctuary, south of Bay Rd., Sandringham, Melb. . 2016 December 10th 12:11 pm .
