Acianthus caudatus

Acianthus caudatus flower

 Acianthus caudatus closeup

This deciduous terrestrial orchid grows in moist areas of eucalypt forest, often along creeks.  While the flower is quite large at about 6cm tall, this orchid is easily overlooked as the flower is so slender and the dark colour does not stand out.

Acianthus caudatus leaf The leaf is heart shaped to 30mm by 20mm, green on top and purple underneath.  The leaf grows about 20mm above the leaf litter.  The flower stem grows to about 25cm tall and bears up to about 6 flowers but generally only 2 or three.

There is no other orchid which can be confused with this orchid when in flower as no other orchid has the long filamentous segments.
