Could defiantly be C. carena, but also possibly C. fuscata. C. fuscata has a single flower habit while C. carena can have multiple flowers per plant. A little hard to tell from the photos? The two species have also been known to hybridise down here (probably not a hybrid, but still cool).

Thanks Detrivore and Tapirlord. That’s interesting and I’ll pay more attention to whether there are double flowers present. Hybrids must make moderating v. challenging.
