Genoplesium tectum, commonly known as the Cardwell midge orchid, is a small terrestrial orchid endemic to a small area in north-eastern Queensland. It has a single thin leaf fused to the flowering stem and up to thirty light red flowers with a dark reddish-black, hairy labellum.
Description
Genoplesium tectum is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single thin leaf with a reddish base and Шаблон:Convert long, fused to the flowering stem with the free part Шаблон:Convert long. Between five and thirty flowers are well spaced along a flowering stem Шаблон:Convert long, reaching to a height Шаблон:Convert. The flowers lean downwards, are light red, about Шаблон:Convert long and 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, about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide and light reddish with prominent reddish-black bands. The lateral sepals are linear to lance-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, have a small gland on their tips and spread widely apart from each other. The petals are narrow egg-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with dark reddish bands. The labellum is elliptic to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide with its edges densely covered with short, purplish hairs. There is a dark reddish-black callus in the centre of the labellum and extending almost to its tip. Flowering occurs from November to March.[1][2]
Taxonomy and naming
Genoplesium tectum was first formally described in 1991 by David Jones and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[3] In 2002, David Jones and Mark Clements changed the name to Corunastylis tecta but the change is not accepted by the Australian Plant Census.[4][5] The specific epithet (tectum) is a Latin word meaning "covered", "concealed" or "secret",[6] referring to the dense vegetation usually concealing this orchid.[2]
Distribution and habitat
The Cardwell midge orchid grows with dense sedges and grass in woodland and is only known from an area south of Cardwell.[1][2]
