Apostasia wallichii, commonly known as the yellow grass orchid,[2] is a species of orchid that is native to India, Japan, China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea and northern Australia. It has many arching, dark green, grass-like leaves and up to forty small, star-like yellow flowers arranged on a branched flowering stem. It mainly grows in wet forest and rainforest.

Description

Apostasia wallichii is a terrestrial, tuberous, evergreen herb, scarcely recognisable as an orchid. It has wiry, branched roots with fleshy, warty projections and an erect, fibrous stem with many grass-like leaves arranged in whorls along it. The leaves are dark green, thin and leathery {{convert|100-200|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and up to {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. Between five and forty star-like, yellow flowers, {{convert|8-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are arranged on branched flowering stems {{convert|50-100|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and arising from leaf axils. The three sepals and three petals are all similar in size ({{convert|4-6|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|1-1.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide), shape (narrow triangular) and colour. Flowering occurs between December and March in Australia and in August in China.[2][3][4][5]

Taxonomy and naming

Apostasia wallichii was first formally described in 1830 by Robert Brown. Brown's manuscript was published in Nathaniel Wallich's book, Plantae Asiaticae Rariores.[1][6] The specific epithet (wallichii) honours Nathaniel Wallich.[6]

Distribution and habitat

The yellow grass orchid grows in tropical forest and rainforest, sometimes near streams at altitudes of up to {{convert|1000|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}}. It is found in Hainan, south-west Yunnan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, southern Japan, Nepal, Malaysia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, New Guinea and Queensland where if occurs between Bamaga and Ingham.[2][3][5]
