Description

The lateral sepals are about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide and spread apart from each other. The petals are about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide and sharply pointed with short coarse hairs on their edges. The labellum is dark purple, broadly egg-shaped, thick and fleshy, about Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, with short glandular hairs on its edges. There is a small callus in the centre of the labellum and extending about half way to its tip. Flowering occurs between January and April.[1]

Taxonomy and naming

Rupp's midge orchid was first formally described in 1927 by Richard Sanders Rogers who gave it the name Prasophyllum ruppii. The type specimen was collected near Paterson by Herman Rupp and the description was published in Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia.[2][3] In 2001, David Jones changed the name to Genoplesium ruppii[4] and in 2002 Jones and Mark Clements changed the name again to Corunastylis ruppii, but the latter name change is not accepted by the Australian Plant Census.[5][6]

Distribution and habitat

Genoplesium ruppii grows in swampy and grassy sites and in heathy forest.[1]
