Thelymitra aggericola, commonly called the bleak sun orchid,[2] is a species of orchid that is endemic to Tasmania. It has a single long, curved leaf and up to seven or more white to pale blue flowers, green on their back side.

Description

Thelymitra aggericola is a tuberous, perennial herb with a single curved, linear to lance-shaped leaf {{convert|70-150|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|4-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and often as long as, or longer than the flowering stem. Up to seven or more white to pale blue flowers {{convert|24-48|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are arranged on a flowering stem {{convert|50-140|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The sepals and petals are {{convert|8-13|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|3.5-4.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and green on the reverse side. The column is white, {{convert|5-6|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and about {{convert|2.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The lobe on the top of the anther is pale yellow to light brown, sharply curved with an inflated hood. The side lobes have dense, mop-like tufts of white hairs. Flowering occurs in October and November.[2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Thelymitra aggericola was first formally described in 1999 by David Jones from a specimen collected near Temma south of Arthur River and the description was published in The Orchadian.[4] The specific epithet (aggericola) is derived from the Latin words agger meaning "heap" or "mound" [5]{{rp|401}} and -cola meaning "dweller".[5]{{rp|217}}

Distribution and habitat

The bleak sun orchid usually grows in rock crevices and shallow soil pockets close to the coast in the north-west and south-east of Tasmania. The plants open freely on warm to hot days and many seed capsules are produced, suggesting that the flowers are capable of self pollination.[2][3]
