Microtis familiaris, commonly known as the globular mignonette orchid[2] or globular onion orchid[3] is a species of orchid endemic to the south-west coastal region of Western Australia. It has a single hollow, onion-like leaf and up to thirty five small greenish-yellow, almost globe-shaped flowers. It often grows in large colonies but only flowers after hot fires the previous summer.

Description

Microtis globula is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single erect, smooth, tubular leaf {{convert|100-250|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3-4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. Between eight and thirty five greenish-yellow flowers are arranged along a flowering stem {{convert|200-350|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The flowers are almost globe-shaped, about {{convert|2.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and wide. The dorsal sepal is egg-shaped to almost round, about {{convert|2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and wide and hood-like. The lateral sepals are triangular, about {{convert|2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and curved with their upper edge partly overlapping the dorsal sepal. The petals are egg-shaped, about {{convert|1.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and are surrounded by the sepals. The labellum is {{convert|1.5-2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and lacks an obvious callus. Flowering occurs from December to January but only after a hot or late fire the previous summer.[2][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Microtis globula was first formally described in 1984 by Robert John Bates from a specimen collected near Walpole and the description was published in Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.[5] The specific epithet (globula) is the diminutive form of the Latin word globus meaning "ball" or "sphere",[6] hence "little ball", referring to the shape of the flowers.[2]

Distribution and habitat

The globular mignonette orchid grows in peaty, winter-wet areas between Albany and Northcliffe in the Jarrah Forest and Warren biogeographic regions.[2][3][7]

Conservation

Microtis globula is classified as "Priority Four" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[7] meaning that is rare or near threatened.[8] It is also classified as "vulnerable" under the Commonwealth Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC) Act. The main threat to the species is inappropriate fire regimes.[9]
