Diuris inundata is a species of orchid that is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It usually has between three and six grass-like leaves and a flowering stem with one or two pale yellow to buttercup yellow flowers with a few rusty-red specks.

Description

Diuris inundata is a tuberous, terrestrial herb usually with a loose tuft of pale green, linear leaves Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. One or two pale yellow to buttercup yellow flowers Шаблон:Cvt wide are borne on a flowering stem Шаблон:Cvt tall. The dorsal sepal is egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide, the lateral sepals linear, paper-thin, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide and diverge from each other. The petals spread horizontally apart and are narrowly egg-shaped to narrowly elliptic, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The labellum has three lobes, the middle lobe triangular, Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide and the side lobes triangular, about Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide and fringed with red. There are two diverging, densely pimply calli ridges. Flowering occurs as the habitat dries after winter, from early September to late November.[1]

Taxonomy and naming

Diuris inundata was first formally described in 2017 by David Jones and Robert Bates in Australian Orchid Review from specimens collected near Penola in 2005.[1][2] The specific epithet (inundata) means "inundated", referring to the winter-wet places preferred by this species.[1]

Distribution and habitat

This species of orchid usually grows among sedges and shrubs in winter-wet river red gum forest, in south-eastern South Australia and nearby areas of Victoria.[1]
