Taxonomy and naming
Cyrtostylis huegelii was first formally described in 1846 by Stephan Endlicher from a specimen collected on Rottnest Island. The description was published in J.G.C. Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae.[4] The specific epithet (huegelii) honours Charles von Hügel who collected the type specimen.[3]
Some authorities regard C. huegelii as a synonym of C. reniformis var. huegelii.[5]
Distribution and habitat
The western gnat orchid grows in shrubland, woodland and forest in wetter parts of the state and on granite outcrops in more inland areas. It is found from Kalbarri to Esperance.[1][3][2][6]
