| Tasmania has
seven species of Diuris (sometimes called Donkey
orchids). These
orchids are readily identified by the conspicuous golden yellow
flowers (often with some red patches) held on often quite tall erect
stems with several narrow leaves. Several species (D.
chryseopsis, D. lanceolata and D. monticola) are
known as golden moths and the petals are held out sideways, rather
than erect, as in the other species. |
