}} Thelymitra ixioides, known as the spotted sun orchid[3] or dotted sun orchid,[4] is a species of orchid that is native to southern and eastern Australia and to New Zealand. It has a single long, thin, dark green leaf and up to ten flowers which occur in a range of colours, most commonly blue to purple but usually with small, dark blue spots. It is a variable species, similar to T. juncifolia which has smaller flowers. DescriptionThelymitra ixioides is a tuberous, perennial herb with a single channelled or corrugated, dark green thread-like to lance-shaped leaf {{convert|200-300|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|10-15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with a purplish base. Between two and ten usually blue to purple flowers with small darker blue spots, {{convert|30-40|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are borne on a flowering stem {{convert|300-600|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The flowers are sometimes pinkish, greenish or white and occasionally lack spots. The sepals and petals are {{convert|15-20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|9-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The column is white or blue, {{convert|4-6|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long and about {{convert|3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The lobe on the top of the anther is yellow with a dark blue band on the back and several rows of crowded, finger-like glands with yellow or orange tips. The side lobes have dense, toothbrush-like tufts of white, pink or bluish hairs. The flowers are sometimes self-pollinating but more commonly insect pollinated. Flowering occurs from September to December.[2][3][4][5]Taxonomy and namingThelymitra ixioides was first formally described in 1805 by the Swedish botanist, Olof Swartz and the description was published in Neues Journal fur die Botanik.[6][7] The specific epithet (ixioides) refers to a perceived similarity to plants in the genus Ixia.[5] The ending -oides is a Latin suffix meaning "likeness".[8]Distribution and habitatThe spotted sun orchid is widespread and common in Australia, less so in New Zealand. It grows in a wide range of habitats but is most common in heath and forest. It is found in the Darling Downs of Queensland, on the coast and tablelands of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, in most of Victoria, in south-eastern South Australia and in Tasmania. In New Zealand it occurs on both the North and South Islands.[2][3] References1. ^1 {{WCSP | 203765 | Thelymitra ixioides }} {{Taxonbar|from=Q6615695}}2. ^1 2 {{cite book|last1=Jones|first1=David L.|title=A complete guide to native orchids of Australia including the island territories|date=2006|publisher=New Holland|location=Frenchs Forest, N.S.W.|isbn=1877069124|pages =240–241}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|last1=Stajsic|first1=Val|title=Thelymitra ixioides|url=https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/920b172b-c827-44b9-8a97-157745304b88|publisher=Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria|accessdate=25 May 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Bernhardt|first1=Peter|title=Thelymitra ixioides|url=http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Thelymitra~ixioides|publisher=Royal Botanic Garden Sydney|accessdate=25 May 2018}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|title=Thelymitra ixioides|url=http://www.nzpcn.org.nz/flora_details.aspx?ID=2272|publisher=New Zealand Plant Conservation Network|accessdate=25 May 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Thelymitra ixioides|url= https://id.biodiversity.org.au/instance/apni/550141|accessdate=25 May 2018}} 7. ^{{cite journal|last1=Swartz|first1=Olof|last2=Schrader|first2=Heinrich (ed.)|title=Genera et species Orchidearum systematice coordinatarum|journal=Neues Journal fur dies Botanik|date=1805|volume=1|issue=1|page=58|url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/137820#page/76/mode/1up|accessdate=25 May 2018}} 8. ^{{cite book|last1=Brown|first1=Roland Wilbur|title=The Composition of Scientific Words|date=1956|publisher=Smithsonian Institution Press|location=Washington, D.C.|page =483}} External links
