Taxonomy and naming
Diuris aurea was first formally described in 1804 by James Edward Smith and the description was published in his book Exotic Botany (Volume 1).[3][4][1] The specific epithet (aurea) is derived from the Latin word aurum meaning "gold".[5]
Distribution and habitat
In New South Wales, golden donkey orchid grows between Marulan and the Hunter Valley, growing in heathy and shrubby woodland and in grassy places in forest in areas near the coast.[2] It also occurs in Queensland where its conservation status is "of least concern".[6][7]
