Eriochilus valens, commonly known as the red-lipped bunny orchid,[2] is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It has a single egg-shaped leaf held above the ground and up to four small pink or white and pink flowers. It grows near winter-west swamps and usually only flowers after fire the previous summer.

Description

Eriochilus valens is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single egg-shaped leaf {{convert|5-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The leaf is held above the ground on a thin stalk {{convert|20-50|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} high. Up to four white or pink flowers about {{convert|10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and wide are borne on a stem, {{convert|10-250|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=2|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|3-4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and spread forwards. 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 are held close to the dorsal sepal. The labellum is pink to red, {{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 {{convert|2.5-3.5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and is fleshy with red bristles. Flowering occurs from March to May but is much more prolific after fire the previous summer.[2][3][4][5]

Taxonomy and naming

Eriochilus valens was first formally described in 2006 by Stephen Hopper and Andrew Brown from a specimen collected in the Bakers Junction Nature Reserve north of Albany and the description was published in Nuytsia.[6] The specific epithet (valens) is a Latin word meaning "strong" or "vigorous",[7] referring to the large labellum of this orchid.[4]

Distribution and habitat

The red-lipped bunny orchid grows in woodland and shrubland around winter-wet swamps, mainly between Walpole and Albany.[3][4][5][8]

Conservation

Eriochilus valens is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[8]
