Taxonomy and naming

Crepidium fontinale was first formally described in 2006 by David Jones and Mark Clements from a specimen collected from the Black Jungle in the Northern Territory.[4][5] The specific epithet (fontinale) is a Latin word meaning "of a spring",[6] referring to the preferred habitat of this orchid.[2]

The species has previously been known as Malaxis acuminata which occurs in Southeast Asia but has been shown to be genetically and morphologically distinct from that species.[2]

Distribution and habitat

The yellow spur orchid grows in moist areas, especially near springs in dense rainforest and is found in northern parts of the Northern Territory including Bathurst Island.[1][2]

Conservation

This orchid is conserved in national parks.[2]
