Diuris luteola, commonly called the northern doubletail,[2] is a species of orchid which is endemic to Queensland. It has a single linear leaf at its base and up to six pale yellow flowers with a few brown markings. It grows in shallow, stony soil on tablelands in eastern parts of the state.

Description

Diuris luteola is a tuberous, perennial herb with a single linear leaf {{convert|200-350|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|3-4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with a purplish base. Up to six pale yellow flowers with a few brown markings, about {{convert|25|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are borne on a flowering stem {{convert|120-450|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The dorsal sepal projects forward and is egg-shaped, {{convert|7-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The lateral sepals are linear to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, green with brown blotches, {{convert|12-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, turned downwards and crossed over each other. The petals are more or less erect, spread apart from each other with an elliptic to egg-shaped blade with the narrower end towards the base. They are {{convert|6-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|4.5-8.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide on a dark reddish brown stalk {{convert|3-5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long. The labellum is {{convert|6-9|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, usually projects forwards and has three lobes. The centre lobe is linear to egg-shaped, {{convert|4-7|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with a few pale brown markings. The side lobes are linear to oblong, erect, about {{convert|3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1-1.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. There are two parallel ridge-like calli about {{convert|5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long near the base of the mid-line of the base of the labellum. Flowering occurs from July to September.[2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Diuris luteola was first formally described in 1991 by David Jones and Bruce Gray from a specimen collected on the Atherton Tableland near Herberton and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[4] The specific epithet (luteola) is a Latin word meaning "yellowish",[5] referring to the colour of the flowers of this species.[3]

Distribution and habitat

The northern doubletail grows in shallow soil in grassy forest from Mount Windsor adjacent to the Daintree National Park to the Blackdown Tableland.[2][3]
