Taxonomy and naming

The glandular leek orchid was first formally described in 1885 by Robert D. FitzGerald who gave it the name Prasophyllum filiforme and published the description in Journal of Botany, British and Foreign. In 1989, David Jones and Mark Clements changed the name to Genoplesium filiforme and in 2002 changed the name again to Corunastylis filiformis but the last change is not accepted by the Australian Plant Census.

Distribution and habitat

Genoplesium filiforme grows in forest, heath and moss gardens over sandstone in near-coastal areas. It is found between Nowra in New South Wales and Helidon in Queensland.
