Gastrodia cooperae, also known as Cooper's black potato orchid,[1] is a species of plant in the family Orchidaceae and is endemic to New Zealand.[2] The specific epithet cooperae refers to Dorothy A. Cooper, founder of the New Zealand Native Orchid Group.[3]
Gastrodia cooperae is a parasitic orchid; it produces no chlorophyll.[3]
The plant is listed in New Zealand as 'Threatened - Nationally Critical'. There are only three known sites where it grows, and it is believed that fewer than 250 mature specimens are living today.[3]
