Taxonomy and naming
Diuris chryseopsis was first formally described in 1998 by David Jones from a specimen collected in a paddock near the Symmons Plains Raceway.[6] The specific epithet (chryseopsis) is derived from the Ancient Greek words chryseos meaning "golden"[7]Шаблон:Rp and opsis meaning "sight", "look" or "appearance",[7]Шаблон:Rp referring to the colour of the flowers.[3]
