Genoplesium simulans, commonly known as the Blue Mountains midge orchid is a small terrestrial orchid which is endemic to New South Wales, where it mainly occurs in the Blue Mountains. It has a single thin leaf and up to twenty three dark purplish-black flowers which lean downwards.
Description
Genoplesium simulans is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single thin leaf Шаблон:Convert long with the free part Шаблон:Convert long. Between five and twenty three dark purplish-black flowers are arranged along a flowering stem Шаблон:Convert long, reaching to a height of Шаблон:Convert. The flowers lean downwards and are Шаблон:Convert wide. As with others in the genus, the flowers are inverted so that the labellum is above the column rather than below it. The dorsal sepal is broadly egg-shaped, Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide and purple with darker bands. The edges of the dorsal sepal are densely hairy, the hairs up to Шаблон:Convert long. The lateral sepals are linear to lance-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, dark reddish purple and spread widely apart from each other. The petals are narrow egg-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide and greenish-purple with darker stripes and a few hairs on the edges. The labellum is narrow egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base and is Шаблон:Convert long, about Шаблон:Convert wide with dark purplish-black hairs on the edges. There is a purplish-black, tapered callus in the centre of the labellum and covering about half of its surface. Flowering occurs from January to March.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy and naming
The Blue Mountains midge orchid was first formally described in 1991 by David Jones and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[4] In 2002, Jones and Mark Clements changed the name to Corunastylis simulans but the change is not accepted by the Australian Plant Census.[5][6] The specific epithet (simulans) is a Latin word meaning "imitating" or "copying",[7] referring to the similarity of this species to G. morissii.[2]
Distribution and habitat
Genoplesium simulans grows in forest and with mosses in shallow soil over sandstone in the Blue Mountains and south to Mount Keira.[1]
