Distribution and habitat

Sedge-loving donkey orchid grows in moist shrubland and woodland among sedges between the rabbit-proof fence near the Murchison River, the East Yuna Nature Reserve and Binnu, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo bioregions of western Western Australia.[1][2][3]

Diuris carecta is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[1]
