Thelymitra cyanapicata, commonly called the dark-tipped sun orchid,[2] is a species of orchid that is endemic to South Australia. It has a single fleshy, linear, channelled leaf and up to three small blue or pale purplish to maroon flowers with a dark purplish blue top of the anther.

Description

Thelymitra cyanapicata is a tuberous, perennial herb with a single erect, fleshy, channelled, linear leaf {{convert|120-220|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3-6|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with a purplish base. Up to three blue or pale purplish to maroon flowers {{convert|12-18|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are arranged on a flowering stem {{convert|150-300|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The sepals and petals are {{convert|5-9|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2.5-5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The column is blue, {{convert|4-5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2-2.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The lobe on the top of the anther is dark purplish blue, gently curved and the side lobes have almost spherical tufts of white hairs. Flowering occurs in October and November but the flowers are self-pollinating and open only on hot days.[2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Thelymitra cyanapicata was first formally described in 2004 by Jeff Jeanes and the description was published in Muelleria from a specimen collected near Kuitpo.[4] The specific epithet (cyanapicata) is derived from the Ancient Greek word kyanos meaning "dark blue"[5]{{rp|153}} and the Latin word apex meaning "top",[5]{{rp|807}} referring to the colour of the anther lobe - a distinctive feature of this species.[3]

Distribution and habitat

The dark-tipped sun orchid grows in Leptospermum thickets in woodland on the Fleurieu Peninsula.[2][3][6]

Conservation

Thelymitra cyanapicata is only known from a single poplution in an area of about {{convert|1|km2|mi2|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} and is classified as "critically endangered" the under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The main threats to the species are forestry practices, grazing by rabbits and hares and by weed invasion.[6][7]
