Description
Genoplesium morinum is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single thin, dark green leaf, Шаблон:Convert long with a purplish base and fused to the flowering stem with the free part Шаблон:Convert long. The leaf sometimes remains attached to the tuber until the plant flowers in the next year. Between ten and twenty dark reddish purple flowers are crowded along Шаблон:Convert of a flowering stem reaching to a height of Шаблон:Convert. The flowers lean downwards, are Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide and inverted so that the labellum is above the column rather than below it. The dorsal sepal is egg-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with dark red lines. The lateral sepals are linear to lance-shaped, Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, point downwards and spread apart from each other. The petals are broadly egg-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with darker lines. The petals have irregular edges with coarse, purple hairs up to Шаблон:Convert long. The labellum is dark purplish red, linear to elliptic in shape, about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide with purplish hairs up to Шаблон:Convert on its edges. There is a thick, fleshy, dark purplish black callus in the centre of the labellum and extending almost to its tip. Flowering occurs from November to January.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy and naming
Genoplesium morinum was first formally described in 1991 by David Jones from a specimen collected in the Kanangra-Boyd National Park and the description was published in The Orchadian.[4] In 2002, David Jones and Mark Clements changed the name to Corunastylis morina but the change is not accepted by the Australian Plant Census.[5][6] The specific epithet (morinum) is derived from the Latin word meaning "mulberry coloured", referring to the flower colour.[2]
Prior to its formal description, William Nicholls noted the cattlemen knew this species as "mulberries on sticks".[2]
Distribution and habitat
Genoplesium morinum grows with sedges in swampy places at altitudes of about Шаблон:Convert in the Kanangra-Boyd National Park.
