Baluk Willam - 20 Orchids in One Day

27 October 2007

Earlier in the month I was quite pleased to find 16 orchids in Baluk Willam Nature Conservation Reserve. Of course that was trumped by this Saturday. Highlights included seeing all three known Bearded Orchids, the Musky Caladenia (possibly not previously seen in the reserve), lots of Leek Orchids (over 20 of them) and several variations of the Spotted Sun Orchids (some are possibly hybrids).

Complete list of species seen were:
  1. Arachnorchis/Caladenia phaeoclavia — Brown-clubbed Spider Orchid
  2. Arachnorchis/Caladenia tentaculata — Mantis Orchid
  3. Calochilus campestris — Copper Beard Orchid
  4. Calochilus paludosus — Red Beard Orchid
  5. Calochilus robertsonii — Purple Beard Orchid
  6. Microtis arenaria — Notched Onion Orchid
  7. Lyperanthus suaveolens — Brown Beaks (not pictured)
  8. Petalochilus carneus/Caladenia carnea — Pink Fingers
  9. Petalochilus catenatus/Caladenia catenata — White Fingers
  10. Petalochilus pusillus/Caladenia pusilla — Tiny Caladenia
  11. Plumatichilos tasmanicum/Pterostylis tasmanica — Southern Bearded Greenhood
  12. Prasophylum odoratum (sp. aff. 1) — Broad-lip Leek Orchid
  13. Simpliglottis/Chiloglottis valida — Common Bird Orchid
