Up to ten dark azure blue flowers with darker veins, {{convert|13-27|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are arranged on a flowering stem {{convert|130-450|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall.

Rogers and the description was published in Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia.[4][5] The specific epithet (azurea) is a Latinised version of the French word azure meaning "a blue colour",[6] referring to "the beautiful colour of the flowers".[5]Distribution and habitatThe azure sun orchid grows in heath and forest in western Victoria and south-eastern South Australia, including Kangaroo Island.[1][2] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|last1=Jones|first1=David L.|title=A complete guide to native orchids of Australia including the island territories|date=2006|publisher=New Holland|location=Frenchs Forest, N.S.W.|isbn=1877069124|page =243}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Jeanes|first1=Jeff|last2=Stajsic|first2=Val|title=Thelymitra azurea|url=https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/0bd67eca-ea49-498e-a404-0adee0e079b7|publisher=Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria|accessdate=27 May 2018}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last1=Jeanes|first1=Jeffrey A.|title=Resolution of the Thelymitra canaliculata R.Br.
