Corybas abellianus, commonly known as the nodding helmet orchid,[2] is a species of terrestrial orchid endemic to tropical north Queensland. It forms small colonies and has single heart-shaped, dark green leaf with a silvery white lower side and a reddish purple flower with a curved dorsal sepal.

Description

Corybas abellianus is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with a single heart-shaped to almost round leaf {{convert|10-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The leaf is dark green with silvery white veins on the upper surface and reddish on the lower side. The reddish purple flower is {{convert|8-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-6|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide and leans downwards. The largest part of the flower is the dorsal sepal which is {{convert|12-15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|6-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The lateral sepals are narrow triangular, about {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and turn downwards. The petals are less than {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The labellum is much shorter than the dorsal sepal, smooth and has a whitish tip. Flowering occurs from February to May.[2][3]

Taxonomy

Corybas abellianus was first formally described in 1955 by Alick Dockrill and the description was published in The North Queensland Naturalist.[4]

Distribution and habitat

The nodding helmet orchid grows in small groups in rainforest on the higher parts of the Atherton Tableland and as far south as Tully Falls near Ravenshoe.[2][3]
