Eriochilus tenuis, commonly known as the slender bunny orchid,[2] is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. 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.

Description

Eriochilus 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 naming

Eriochilus 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 habitat

The slender bunny orchid grows in winter-wet swamps and in moss beds on granite outcrops between Perth and Albany.[2][3][4][7]

Conservation

Eriochilus tenuis is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[7]
