Diuris amabilis, commonly known as lovely moths,[1] is a species of orchid that is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It has between four and eight grass-like leaves, a flowering stem with up to five yellow flowers with a few dark streaks, and a yellow to orange labellum. The flowers appear from late September to November.

Description

Diuris behrii is a tuberous, perennial herb with between four and eight grass-like, linear to narrow linear leaves Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Up to five yellow flowers are borne on a flowering stem Шаблон:Cvt tall, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The dorsal sepal is egg-shaped, up to Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt and leans forwards at its lower half then erect. The lateral sepals are narrowly egg-shaped to spatula-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide, turned beneath the labellum and parallel to each other. The petals are nearly horizontal or droop, elliptic to narrowly egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide on a stalk Шаблон:Cvt long. The labellum has three lobes, the lateral lobes narrowly triangular, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, the mid-lobe broadly egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. There are two pimply orange calli Шаблон:Cvt long near the mid-line of the labellum. Flowering occurs from late September to November.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Diuris amabilis was first formally described in 2019 by David Jones in Australian Orchid Review from a specimen collected near Bookham in 1992.[2][3] The specific epithet (amabilis) means "lovely", referring to the flowers of this orchid.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Lovely orchid mostly grows in grassland, grassy woodland and forest, and around swamps at altitudes between Шаблон:Cvt. It is found south from Orange in New South Wales to near Tooborac in central northern Victoria. There is a single record from the Australian Capital Territory. Records of Diuris behrii from these areas are now referrable to D. amabilis.[1][2]
