Taxonomy and naming

Chiloglottis turfosa was first formally described in 1991 by David Jones from a specimen collected near the Tantangara Dam and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[4] The specific epithet (turfosa) is a Latin word meaning "a peat bog" referring to the habitat of this orchid.[2]

Distribution and habitat

The bog bird orchid grows with grasses and under shrubs in peaty soil in the Snowy Mountains near Kiandra and Adaminaby and in the Australian Capital Territory.[3][1]
