Help with ID for this strange one (wasn't sure initially if it was an orchid)
This one has rather small flowers (maybe 1cm) and is a very "stringy" plant. Only has 3 flowers at the moment.

95% sure Dendrobium. There are a few stringly looking Aussie native Dens.
Den. striolatum?

It was hidden away amongst the Spanish Moss growing all over stuff in dad's shadehouse. The flowers are quite small and hard to see - initially I didn't even realise it was an orchid.

Flower not right for striolatum.

Ok, Went through my new awesome book, and found Dockrillia Schoenina, it looks very very similar??? If not this one, it will be definitely Dockrillia, there are many looking very similar, like Pugioniformis or Mortii

Dockrillia Schoenina, very common orchid distributed from central eastern Queensland through to central eastern New South Wales.

That looks suspiciously like it - Thanks !
I'd guess this is another one dad collected himself, I'm at the southern (cooler) end of its range, in central eastern NSW

Give the flowers a smell - they're perfumed (at times, at least).
Cheers,
