Default Unidentified Orchid

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to identify this orchid for me. It was found in coastal far north Queensland and appears to be still quite young. My only guess is that it comes from the Liparis family as it has relatively large pseudobulbs at the base of each rhizome.

Thanks Jesse

I tried but I obviously got it wrong. Hopefully this works.

Den. canaliculatum?

Most Liparis are terrestrials and have flattened pseudobulbs.

Thank you so much!! It's great to have this kind of assistance and information sharing available.

I managed to find it growing on a log knocked off a tree by cyclone Yasi. There were a few amazing native orchids salvaged from certain death after the storm. Some good in what was an extremely destructive event!
