Taxonomy and naming
Diuris suffusa was first formally described in 2016 by David Jones and Christopher J. French in Australian Orchid Review, from a specimen collected by French near the Trayning to Bencubbin road in 1999.[4] The specific epithet (suffusa) means "suffused" or "tinged", referring to the pale colour of the flowers, tinged with darker colours.[3]
Distribution and habitat
Mottled donkey orchid grows in low shrubland and shrubby woodland in the area between Bencubbin, Trayning, Wyalkatchem and Koorda in the Avon Wheatbelt and Coolgardie bioregions of south-western Western Australia.[1][2][3]
Conservation
Diuris suffusa is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[1]
