This is most probably the same species that I photographed in 2011 that you thought might be T. nuda as it was growing in the same location.

Hello Betty & Jackie, I don't think David Jones is going to confirm the orchids, maybe someone from CNM could have a look at them or maybe confirm them to the genus to get them out of the unidentified group, they have been in that category for 18 months.
