Is it a terrestrial orchid?

This is not even listed in my (original) RHS Encyclopaedia (4 volume one) so I assume it has recently been renamed or something.

The generic name, Diplodium, was proposed in 2002 in a revision of the
Pterostylis orchids. Australasian species.

Ah ... I was thinking that this might be a terrestrial orchid from down in South Australia - have seen a photo of something that looks so similar.
