Orchid Review - August September 2018 Pages 56-58
Discovered in Australia in 2010 near Port Macquarie and in 2012 at
Bundanoon, NSW. This orchid is found in New Zealand and was
named initially in 1963 by Edwin Dan Hatch as Yoania australis and renamed
in 1995 as Danhatchia australis. In New Zealand it is deemed
to be 'At Risk - Naturally Uncommon'
The orchid seems to
self-pollinate and therefore does not always opens its flowers. |
