Thelymitra hiemalis, commonly called the winter sun orchid,[3] is a species of orchid that is endemic to Victoria. It is a winter flowering orchid with greenish sepals and blue or mauve petals with large, irregular, darker spots.

Description

Thelymitra hiemalis is a tuberous, perennial herb with a fleshy, channelled, dark green, linear to lance-shaped leaf {{convert|120-200|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|8-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with a reddish base. Up to five mauve or blue flowers {{convert|30-45|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are borne on a flowering stem {{convert|200-350|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The sepals and petals are {{convert|15-22|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The sepals are often greenish and the petals, including the labellum have irregular, darker spots. The column is white, about {{convert|4|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The lobe on the top of the anther has a brownish back and crowded yellow or orange, finger-like calli. The side lobes have mop-like tufts of white hairs. Flowering occurs from June to August.[2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Thelymitra hiemalis was first formally described in 1988 by David Jones and Mark Clements and the description was published in The Orchadian.[4] The specific epithet (hiemalis) is a Latin word meaning "of winter".[5]

Distribution and habitat

The winter sun orchid grows in heath and is only known from a few records near Portland, Anglesea, Upper Beaconsfield and Blackburn.[2][3]

Conservation

Thelymitra hiemalis is listed as "endangered" under the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988.[3]
