Genoplesium pedersonii, commonly known as Pederson's midge orchid, is a small terrestrial orchid endemic to the Blackdown Tableland in Queensland. It has a single thin leaf fused to the flowering stem and up to thirty small, greenish red to reddish, self-pollinating flowers with a dark purplish red labellum.

Description

Genoplesium pedersonii is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single thin leaf {{convert|80-160|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and fused to the flowering stem with the free part {{convert|12-19|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. Between five and thirty flowers are well spaced along a flowering stem {{convert|100-250|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall and taller than the leaf. The flowers lean downwards and are greenish red to reddish, about {{convert|1.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The flowers are inverted so that the labellum is above the column rather than below it. The dorsal sepal is broadly egg-shaped, about {{convert|1.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and wide and concave. The lateral sepals are lance-shaped, about {{convert|2.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and spread widely apart. The petals are egg-shaped, about {{convert|1.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The labellum is dark purplish red, egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, about {{convert|1.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and turns upwards near its middle. There is a dark purplish black callus in the centre of the labellum and covering about two-thirds of its surface. Flowering occurs from December to April.[2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Genoplesium pedersonii was first formally described in 1991 by David Jones and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[4] In 2002, David Jones and Mark Clements changed the name to Corunastylis pedersonii.[5] The specific epithet (pedersonii) honours Mr Ted Pederson who discovered this and several other orchid species.[3]

Distribution and habitat

Genoplesium pedersonii grows with sedges and mosses in moist areas on rock ledges on the Blackdown Tableland.[3]

There are unconfirmed records of this species from the Pilliga forest in New South Wales.[6]
