I see, I was under the impression that G.sesamoides didn't occur above 1000m altitude, is this still correct?? I agree with your comments re. the warty bumps on the flowers, but these plants are much more robust than the plants I have encountered at lower altitudes (assuming this is sesamoides). This individual plant is positioned less than a metre away from the plants pictured in Gastrodia procera (Tall Potato Orchid) (I was with John at the time). There are another 4-5 plants in the vicinity, I was pretty confident at the time that they were all the same species.
