Dipodium elegantulum, commonly known as the elegant hyacinth orchid, is a leafless orchid that is endemic to Queensland. In spring and summer it has up to sixty pale to dark pink flowers with a few darker spots and streaks near the tips, on a tall flowering stem.

Description

Dipodium elegantulum is a tuberous, perennial, saprophytic herb. Between August and December it produces a flowering stem {{convert|500-800|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} tall bearing between twenty and sixty flowers. The flowers are pale to dark pink with a few darker spots and streaks near the tips and {{convert|20-25|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The dorsal sepal is linear to lance-shaped, {{convert|14-17|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|3-4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and the lateral sepals are a similar shape but slightly longer and narrower. The petals are a similar shape but slightly curved, {{convert|13-15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}}, free from each other and the sepals. The labellum is dark pink and projects forwards, {{convert|14-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|4-5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with an upturned tip and a narrow central band of mauve hairs up to {{convert|0.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long.[3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Dipodium atropurpureum was first formally described in 1991 by David Jones and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research from a specimen collected near Mareeba.[1] The specific epithet (elegantulum) is a Latin word meaning "very fine",[5] referring to the flowers of this orchid.[4]

Distribution and habitat

The elegant hyacinth orchid is widespread in forest and grassy woodland between the Mount Windsor Tableland, the Hervey Range and Charters Towers.[3][4]
