| This leafless climbing saprophyte often grows in open
sclerophyll forests. It generally grows up tree trunks to about 2m, but
will often grow without support to about 30cm tall.
The flowers of Erythrorchis cassythoides are generally tubular
about 2cm long. A few flowers may be found open as per the photo. The
flower when open, is about 25mm across and highly sweetly fragrant.
This distinctive orchid can only be confused Pseudovanilla foliata
which has much larger flowers with a flat (non-tubular) colourful
labellum. |
