User's notes

Looked very dark when seen on the forest floor, but the photos came up lighter. It was found in dry forest, in a rain shadow area. Not sure of the classification. I put it in the wrong group of orchids. I was trying to have it as Corunastylis arrecta

It won't be C.arrecta I don't think, I can't see any cillia on the floral components and this habitat is dry forest that isn't high enough to be montane. I'm going to leave this at genus because we cannot exclude C.clivicola, but my feeling is that this is highly likely C.despectens
