Diuris chrysantha, commonly known as granite donkey orchid,[2] is a species of orchid that is endemic to eastern Australia. It has one or two leaves and up to seven deep golden to orange-coloured flowers with brown markings and occurs on the ranges and tablelands north from Tamworth to the Darling Downs.

Description

Diuris chrysantha is a tuberous, perennial herb with one or two linear leaves {{convert|120-360|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|4-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and folded lengthwise. Between two and seven deep golden to orange-coloured flowers with brown markings and {{convert|18-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are borne on a flowering stem {{convert|150-320|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The dorsal sepal is erect, egg-shaped, {{convert|7-9|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|6-7|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The lateral sepals are linear to spatula-shaped, {{convert|12-18|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|2-4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and turned downwards. The petals are more or less circular in shape, {{convert|6-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and wide on a brown stalk {{convert|4-7|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and held ear-like above the rest of the flower. The labellum is {{convert|7-9|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and has three lobes. The centre lobe is heart-shaped to wedge shaped, {{convert|5-7|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|4-6|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide and the side lobes are egg-shaped, {{convert|2.5-4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2.5-3|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide. There are two callus ridges {{convert|2-3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and spreading apart from each other near the mid-line of the labellum. Flowering occurs from August to November.[2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Diuris chrysantha was first formally described in 1987 by David Jones and Mark Clements from a specimen collected near Stanthorpe and the description was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland.[4] The specific epithet (chrysantha) is derived from the Ancient Greek words chrysos meaning "gold"[5]{{rp|203}} and anthos meaning "flower".[5]{{rp|94}}

Distribution and habitat

The granite donkey orchid grows in grassy forest on the ranges and tablelands north from Tamworth to the Darling Downs.[2][3]
