A group of three distinct 'clusters' of small orchids in flower, located within an area of approximately 5 square meters on a near vertical, roughly South facing, sandstone rock face. All were growing in areas which were still damp with water seepage after the heavy rains four days previously. The rockface was in full shade at noon, possibly receiving morning sunlight. The flower stalks were no longer than 5cm at the very most and the leaves appeared to be uniformly a rich green colour without any markings, notable texture or veins. I didn't find any more plants nearby or indeed anywhere else in the reserve during our 4 day hike.
