Prasophyllum collinum is a species of orchid endemic to South Australia. It has a single tubular leaf and up to thirty lemon-scented, greenish brown and white flowers. It is only known from the Eyre Peninsula where it grows in sparse woodland.

Description

Prasophyllum collinum is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single shiny, dark green, tube-shaped leaf, {{convert|250-500|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|8-14|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with a reddish base. Between twelve and thirty lemon-scented flowers are crowded along a flowering spike {{convert|8-150|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The flowers are greenish brown and white and {{convert|8-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. As with others in the genus, the flowers are inverted so that the labellum is above the column rather than below it. The dorsal sepal is lance-shaped to egg-shaped, {{convert|9-12.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|4-5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide with three fine dark lines. The lateral sepals are linear to lance-shaped, {{convert|9-14|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|2-3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, and spread apart from each other. The petals are more or less linear in shape, green to purplish, {{convert|9-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1.5-2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and greenish, but white near the base. The labellum is white, oblong to egg-shaped, {{convert|12-15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|6-7.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and turns sharply upwards at more than 90° near its middle. The upturned part of the labellum is wavy or crinkled and there is a yellowish-green callus with a dark green base, in the centre of the labellum. Flowering occurs in September and October.[1]

Taxonomy and naming

Prasophyllum collinum was first formally described in 2006 by David Jones from a specimen collected near Mount Olinthus and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[2] The specific epithet (collina) is a Latin word meaning "of a hill" or "hilly",[3] referring to the hilly terrain where this orchid is often found.[1]

Distribution and habitat

This leek orchid grows in sparse woodland, often on the sheltered side of low hills, in central and southern parts of the Eyre Peninsula.[1]
