| This epiphyte or lithophyte grows in the rainforest verges around
Brisbane where it hangs conspicuously from the trees.
The leaves are semi-pendulous giving this orchid an untidy appearance.
The leaves are shallowly grooved and grow to 15cm long by 4mm thick.
The flower is about 25mm across and is green or yellowish green with a
white ruffled labellum.
This orchid cannot be confused with any other orchid when in
flower. When not it flower, the plant is similar to Dockrillia
schoenina, but D. schoenina can be distinguished by its deeply
grooved leaves and much more erect habit. |
