Cymbidium suave, commonly known as the snake orchid[2] or grassy boat-lip orchid,[3] is a plant in the orchid family and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an epiphytic orchid that forms long-lasting clumps of grass-like leaves. Up to fifty crowded olive green to dark or brownish green flowers are borne on an arching flowering stem. Of the three Australian species of Cymbidium, this is the only one that does not have prominent pseudobulbs. It is found in eastern Australia, usually growing in the hollows of old or fallen, decaying trees.

Description

Cymbidium canaliculatum is an epiphytic herb that forms clumps of grass-like leaves but lacks prominent pseudobulbs. It has stems {{convert|300-500|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|15-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide covered with overlapping leaf bases. There are between four and eight strap-shaped leaves {{convert|300-450|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|15-20|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide on each stem. Between five and fifty strongly scented, olive green to dark or brownish green flowers {{convert|23-35|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|20-30|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide are borne on an often arching flowering stem {{convert|100-300|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long. The sepals are {{convert|12-15|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-6|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide and the petals are {{convert|8-11|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5-6|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide. The labellum is {{convert|8-11|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|7-8|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide and faintly divided into three lobes. Flowering occurs between August and January.[3][2][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Cymbidium canaliculatum was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown who published the description in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.[5][6] The specific epithet (suave) is a Latin word meaning "sweet".[7]

Distribution and habitat

The snake orchid grows in woodland and forest in the hollows of old trees or in fallen, decaying trees. It occurs between Cooktown in Queensland and Bega in New South Wales and as far inland as Tamworth.[2][3][4]
