| Prasophyllum
(Leek Orchids) is one of the largest of Tasmania's genera of
orchids, with
32 species currently recognised.
The plants have a single cylindrical leaf and an erect stem
bearing several to many flowers. The individual flowers are fairly
small and inconspicuous, but many-flowered plants can be quite
showy.
This genus is sometimes confused with
Microtis, but tends to be larger, and the flowers are
inverted. |
