Options are C cornuta and C sagittifera. I'll do some research

Called C. oligantha now, if you take the narrow view of C. saggitifera is confined to the Blue Mountains

Hi Eamonn, respectfully disagree here too. Of course hard to be sure without seeing in the flesh, but C. oligantha typically has broader labellum with darker purple tip. Flowers generally not small, and these ones appear small (hard to judge from photos though). There is some uncertainty about how to treat Corunastylis from north of Canberra that appear smaller than regular C cornuta we get around Canberra.

I have to agree about the colour, that does match C. cornuta better
