Taxonomy and naming

Diuris carinata was first formally described by John Lindley in his 1840 book The Genera and Species of Orchidaceous Plants from a specimen collected by James Drummond near the Swan River.[5] Its specific epithet (carinata) is a Latin word meaning "keeled",[6] referring to the keel-like structure of parts of the flower.[7]

Distribution and habitat

The tall bee orchid is found between Gingin and Mount Barker in the Jarrah Forest biogeographical region where it grows with sedges in swampy areas.[8][9]
