I am looking for some assistance here. For the last three years I have watched this patch of what I think are Chiloglottis leaves grow and then curl up in late Spring/early Summer. I haven’t seen any flowers grow on them.  The leaves are growing beneath a mature eucalyptus tree approximately halfway between the house and the dam, on the South side of the tree.

In my research I can’t see any species of Victorian growing Chiloglottis which has red/purplish edges on the leaves. It would be good to know a species so I can watch more closely during the anticipated flowering weeks.

I am in a Facebook Group ‘Australian Native Orchids’ and have posted these photographs there as well.  One suggestion was to check out the species Leporella fimbriata, which is a Hare orchid, but I don’t think the leaves match in shape or colour.

If you have other ideas on what it might be, happy to hear them.

In the patch of plants, the leaves resemble Chiloglottis in the formation of the plant leaves.

In my research I cann ot find a species of Chiloglottis which has red/purple edges to the leaves.

This looks like a species of Chiloglottis, but if so, which one?

This plant has paler green, but still with red/purple edges to the leaves.
