It is found in coastal and near-coastal parts of New South Wales and Queensland.

Description

Genoplesium acuminatum is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single thin leaf Шаблон:Convert long and fused to the flowering stem with the free part Шаблон:Convert long. Between six and sixteen greenish purple to brownish purple flowers are crowded along a flowering stem Шаблон:Convert tall and taller than the leaf. The flowers are about Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide and are inverted so that the labellum is above the column rather than below it. The dorsal sepal is broadly egg-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with long, coarse hairs on its edges. The lateral sepals are linear to lance-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, have pointed tips and spread widely apart from each other. The petals are lance-shaped to broad egg-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with hairy edges and a sharply pointed tip. The labellum is lance-shaped to egg-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, with a curled, sharply pointed tip and long, coarse hairs on the sides.

Taxonomy and naming

The pointed midge orchid was first formally described in 1927 by Richard Sanders Rogers who gave it the name Prasophyllum acuminatum and published the description in Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia.[3][4] In 1989, David Jones and Mark Clements changed the name to Genoplesium acuminatum[5] and in 1998 changed the name again to Corunastylis acuminata,[6] but the latter name change is not accepted by Plants of the World Online.[7] The specific epithet (acuminatum) is a Latin word meaning "sharpened" or "pointed".[8]

Distribution and habitat

Genoplesium acuminatum grows in forest in coastal and near-coastal areas of New South Wales from near Sydney north to Fraser Island in Queensland.[1][2]
