Description

Diuris insignis is a tuberous, perennial herb with between two and six narrowly linear to thread-like leaves Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Up to five yellow flowers with dark red markings, Шаблон:Cvt long and wide are borne on a flowering stem Шаблон:Cvt tall. The dorsal sepal is narrowly egg-shaped to narrowly elliptic, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The lateral sepals are parallel or crossed near the tip, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide and project forwards. The petals are more or less erect or curved backwards and paddle-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a reddish-brown stalk Шаблон:Cvt long. The labellum is Шаблон:Cvt long with three lobes - the centre lobe broadly wedge-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and wide. The side lobes spread widely apart and are oblong, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. There are two smooth, yellow calli ridges heavily marked with dark red near the mid-line of the labellum.

Taxonomy and naming

Diuris insignis was first formally described in 2013 by David Jones and Christopher J. French in Australian Orchid Review, from a specimen collected by Jones near Muirs Highway, Шаблон:Cvt west of the Frankland River crossing in 1985.[5] The specific epithet (insignis) means "remarkable" or "notable", in reference to the appearance of the flowers.[3]

Distribution and habitat

Dark bee orchid grows in moist grassland and sedgeland in winter-wet flats and around swamps between Mount Barker and Manjimup in the Jarrah Forest bioregion of south-western Western Australia.[1][2][3]

Conservation

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