Adenochilus nortonii, commonly known as the white gnome orchid,[3] is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to a few isolated locations in New South Wales. It has a long, thin underground rhizome, a single leaf and a single white flower with reddish glandular hairs on the outside. Its labellum has red bars and a central band of yellow calli.

Description

Adenochilus nortonii is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with a long, thin, horizontal rhizome and a single egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaf, {{convert|15-35|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|10-16|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with reddish spots on the lower surface. A single white flower {{convert|15-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|20-30|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide is borne on the end of a flowering spike {{convert|60-120|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The outer surface of the sepals and petals is covered with reddish glandular hairs. The dorsal sepal is broad elliptic in shape, {{convert|12-16|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|7-8|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide and forms a hood over the labellum and column. The lateral sepals are {{convert|13-16|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|4-5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide and spread widely apart from each other. The petals are {{convert|10-14|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and slightly erect. The labellum is strongly curved when viewed from the side, about {{convert|5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|4-5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide, with three lobes with red bars. The middle lobe is narrow with a dense central band of yellow calli and the side lobes are broader. Flowering occurs in November and December.[2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Adenochilus nortonii was first formally described in 1876 by Robert FitzGerald from a specimen collected near Mount Victoria and the description was published in his book Australian Orchids.[4] The specific epithet (nortonii) honours James Norton (1824-1906), an amateur botanist and friend of Fitzgerald.[4][5]

Distribution and habitat

The white gnome orchid grows in rock crevices, in sphagnum and near creeks in beech forest, usually above {{convert|900|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}}. It is found in the Blue Mountains, Barrington Tops and Point Lookout areas.[2][3]
