Thelymitra frenchii, commonly called the scarp sun orchid[1] or Jarrahdale sun orchid,[2] is a species of orchid in the family Orchidaceae and endemic to a small area in the south-west of Western Australia. It has a single long, fleshy leaf and up to three relatively small, blue flowers.

Description

Thelymitra frenchii is a tuberous, perennial herb with a single channelled, fleshy, pale green, linear to lance-shaped leaf {{convert|60-120|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. Up to three blue flowers, {{convert|18-25|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are borne on a flowering stem {{convert|50-140|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The sepals and petals are {{convert|8-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3.5-6|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The column is bluish to pinkish, about {{convert|5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The lobe on the top of the anther is {{convert|2-3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and about {{convert|2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, mostly yellow with a narrow purplish band and a broad, shallow notch. The side lobes have toothbrush-like tufts of white hairs. The flowers remain open even in cool weather and until late in the day. Flowering has only been observed in October.[1][2][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Thelymitra frenchii was first formally described in 2004 by Jeff Jeanes from a specimen collected near Jarrahdale and the description was published in Muelleria.[5] The specific epithet (frenchii) honours "Christopher (Chris) J. French" for his assistance to the author.[3]

Distribution and habitat

The scarp sun orchid grows in soil pockets on granite outcrops in jarrah forest. It is only known from near Jarrahdale in the Jarrah Forest biogeographic region.[3][6]

Conservation

Thelymitra frenchii is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[6]
