It has a single egg-shaped leaf lying flat on the ground and one or two small pink or pink and white flowers. A common species, it grows in dense, shrubby forest and in winter-wet swamps. DescriptionEriochilus tenuis is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single egg-shaped leaf {{convert|10-40|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide which lies flat on the ground. One or two pink or white flowers about {{convert|10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and wide are borne on a stem, {{convert|70-150|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The dorsal sepal is egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, {{convert|6-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2-3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The lateral sepals are {{convert|9-11|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|3-4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and spread apart. The petals are narrow spatula-shaped, {{convert|5-7|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and held close to the dorsal sepal. The labellum is pink, {{convert|6-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and has three lobes. The middle lobe is egg-shaped, {{convert|2.5-3|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and is fleshy with red bristles. Flowering occurs from September to November, more prolifically after fire the previous summer.[2][3][4]Taxonomy and namingEriochilus tenuis was first formally described in 1840 by John Lindley and the description was published in A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony.[5] The specific epithet (tenuis) is a Latin word meaning "thin",[6] referring to the thin form of this orchid.[3]Distribution and habitatThe slender bunny orchid grows in winter-wet swamps and in moss beds on granite outcrops between Perth and Albany.[2][3][4][7] ConservationEriochilus tenuis is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[7]References1. ^{{WCSP | 78616 | Eriochilus tenuis }} {{Taxonbar|from= Q10273630}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Eriochilus tenuis}}2. ^1 2 {{cite book|last1=Jones|first1=David L.|title=A complete guide to native orchids of Australia including the island territories|date=2006|publisher=New Holland|location=Frenchs Forest, N.S.W.|isbn=1877069124|page =278}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book|last1=Brown|first1=Andrew|last2=Dundas|first2=Pat|last3=Dixon|first3=Kingsley|last4=Hopper|first4=Stephen|title=Orchids of Western Australia|date=2008|publisher=University of Western Australia Press|location=Crawley, Western Australia|isbn=9780980296457|page=265}} 4. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Hoffman|first1=Noel|last2=Brown|first2=Andrew|title=Orchids of South-West Australia.|date=2011|publisher=Noel Hoffman|location=Gooseberry Hill|isbn=9780646562322|page=230|edition=3rd}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Eriochilus tenuis|url= https://id.biodiversity.org.au/instance/apni/510992|publisher=APNI|accessdate=14 August 2018}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Brown|first1=Roland Wilbur|title=The Composition of Scientific Words|date=1956|publisher=Smithsonian Institution Press|location=Washington, D.C.|page =132}} 7. ^1 {{FloraBase|name=Eriochilus tenuis|id=10802}} 5 : Eriochilus|Orchids of Western Australia|Endemic orchids of Australia|Plants described in 1840|Endemic flora of Western Australia |
