| This terrestrial orchid grows in moist to wet areas in rainforests
around Brisbane. It is locally common and will form large colonies
of plants where the conditions are right. This magnificent greenhood
is arguably our most spectacular.
The rosette has up to 9 stalked leaves to about 10mm by 20mm.
Plants which form rosettes will not flower that year.
Plants which flower form a flower stem to about 40cm tall with up to
about 6 leaves up the stem. The flower is translucent white with
green stripes to about 25mm tall. The petals are rufous brown.
This very distinctive species can be readily identified by its broad
brown petals. |
