Thelymitra × truncata, commonly called the truncate sun orchid,[3] is a species of orchid that is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It has a single tapering, more or less flat leaf with a reddish base and up to six blue, pink or white flowers with a tube-shaped lobe on top of the anther. It is a natural hybrid between a range of species, including T. pauciflora and T. ixioides.

Description

Thelymitra × truncata is a tuberous, perennial herb with a single more or less flat or channelled, tapering linear to lance-shaped leaf {{convert|80-300|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with a reddish base. Up to six or more pale to deep blue, pinkish or sometimes white flowers {{convert|20-25|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are arranged on a flowering stem {{convert|70-550|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. There are one or two bracts along the flowering stem. The sepals and petals are {{convert|6-18|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The column is a similar colour to the petals and {{convert|3-5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The lobe on top of the anther is tube-shaped with a dark collar and a yellow tip. The side lobes have mop-like tufts of white hairs on their ends. Flowering occurs from October to December. The plants are variable, due to crossing between a range of species to produce this hybrid.[2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Thelymitra × truncata was first formally described in 1917 by Richard Sanders Rogers from a specimen collected near Myponga and the description was published in Transactions and proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia.[4][5] The specific epithet (x truncata) is a Latin word meaning meaning "to maim or shorten by cutting off",[6] referring to the shaped of the middle lobe on top of the column.[5]

Distribution and habitat

The truncate sun orchid is widespread but uncommon, growing in heath, woodland and open forest. It occurs in southern New South Wales, most of Victoria, south-eastern South Australia and in Tasmania.[2][3]
