I haven’t seen T rubra but this one looks like it could be? Dark band of colour on column and column arms with a bit toothy fluff. Was the flower larger than T carnea?

The flower was less than 10mm wide.
I haven’t seen T. rubra but the books point out the salmon colour on the column which these didn’t have. Other plants to come in to flower so needs watching.

I think the general consensus is that T.rubra doesn't occur in NSW.
