Taxonomy and naming

Dipodium ensifolium was formally described in 1865 by Ferdinand von Mueller from a specimen collected on rocky mountains near Rockingham Bay.[3][4] The specific epithet (ensifolium) is derived from the Latin words ensis meaning "sword"[5]Шаблон:Rp and folium meaning "leaf".[5]Шаблон:Rp

The leafy hyacinth orchid grows in forest and woodland between Cooktown and Ingham. Plants develop long, lanky growths except when above ground parts are destroyed by fire, when they quickly produce new growth.[1][2]

Ecology

The flowers of this orchid are pollinated by small native bees.[2]

Use in horticulture

This orchid is easily grown in pots in warm climates and bright light.[1]
