Diuris subalpina, commonly known as slender golden moths[1] is a species of orchid that is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It has two linear leaves and up to three bright yellow flowers with very fine, reddish streaks.

Description

Diuris subalpina is a tuberous, perennial herb with two linear leaves Шаблон:Cvt long. Up to three, almost drooping, bright yellow flowers with very faint red streaks are borne on a flowering stem Шаблон:Cvt tall. The dorsal sepal is egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and relatively small with reddish-brown streaks at the base, and an upturned tip. The lateral sepals are linear to lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and usually parallel to each other. The petals are drooping, narrowly egg-shaped to elliptic, Шаблон:Cvt long and usually underneath the labellum. The labellum is Шаблон:Cvt long and has three lobes, the side lobes tiny and horn-like with a reddish base and the mid-lobe six times longer than the side lobes. There are two softly-hairy longitudinal ridges near the base of the labellum and a faint ridge extending almost to the tip of the labellum. Flowering occurs from October to December.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Diuris subalpina was first formally described in 2008 by David Jones in "The Orchadian" from a specimen collected in Namadgi National Park in 1996.[3][4] The specific epithet (subalpina) means "less than high altitude", referring to the montane and subalpine habitat of this orchid.[3]

Distribution and habitat

Slender golden moths is abundant in montane and subalpine areas of south-eastern New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and north-eastern Victoria.[1][3]
