Taxonomy and naming

Genoplesium ostrinum was first formally described in 2001 by David Jones and the description was published in The Orchadian.[2] In 2002, Jones and Mark Clements changed the name to Corunastylis ostrina but the change is not accepted by the Australian Plant Census.[3][4] The specific epithet (ostrinum) is a Latin word meaning "purple".[5]

Distribution and habitat

The purple midge orchid grows with shrubs or grasses in woodland between Tallong and Braidwood.[1]
