Sarcochilus serrulatus, commonly known as the banded butterfly orchid,[2] is an epiphytic orchid endemic to tropical North Queensland. It has up to six crowded leaves with finely toothed and wavy edges and up to ten reddish brown flowers with a white, yellow-banded labellum.

Description

Sarcochilus serrulatus is an epiphytic herb with a stem {{convert|10-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long with between three and six curved leaves {{convert|50-100|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and about {{convert|20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The leaves are oblong to egg-shaped with wavy edges that have fine teeth. Between two and ten reddish brown flowers {{convert|14-18|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|12-15|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide are arranged on a fleshy, club-shaped flowering stem {{convert|20-40|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The dorsal sepal is {{convert|5-6|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and wide whilst the lateral sepals are {{convert|5-7|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3-4|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide. The petals are shorter and narrower than the lateral sepals. The labellum is white with reddish and yellowish markings, about {{convert|4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and wide with three lobes. The side lobes are erect and curve inwards and the middle lobe is fleshy with a spur about {{convert|3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. Flowering occurs between August and January.[2][3][5]

Taxonomy and naming

Sarcochilus serrulatus was first formally described in 1972 by David Jones and the description was published in The Victorian Naturalist.[4][5] The specific epithet (serrulatus) is derived from the Latin word serra meaning "toothed like a saw".[6]

Distribution and habitat

The banded butterfly orchid grows on trees in dense rainforest, usually near streams. It is only known from the Tablelands Region of north Queensland.[2][3][5]
