Penang, Malaysia..d home of fabulous paphs.
Today I attended the winter show organized by the local orchid society. Lots and lots of cyms, zygos, Aussie natives and hybrids. Not so many Laeliinae and slippers..
Acianthus pusillus, a small Aussie native terrestrial:

Enjoy..! :)
 
Nice pics! Just wondering - do you know if the Diplodium is a new name for Pterostylis, or if this species was split of from that genus? Looks very much like a Pterostylis to me.
 
Kevin, I'm no expert on Aussie natives, but I think they are different but closely related. Les Nesbitt (of Nesbitt's orchids), who specialises in these Aussie terrestrials, only refer to D. robustum as a Diplodium. Other species he refers to as Pterostylis (P. curta etc..) :)
