Corunastylis densa, the dense midge orchid, is a small deciduous terrestrial orchid from eastern Australia with a single leaf and dense clusters of reddish-brown flowers. It is a wild native rather than a common garden plant, so growing it means matching its native habitat and dormant-season cycle.
Corunastylis densa, commonly known as dense midge orchid, is a small terrestrial orchid endemic to eastern Australia. It has a single thin leaf fused to the flowering stem and up to twenty five densely crowded reddish-brown to dark purplish-brown flowers. It is found between the New England National Park and the Moroka River.
Corunastylis densa grows in a range of habitats between Point Lookout in New South Wales and the Moroka River in Victoria but is absent from the Snowy Mountains and the Australian Capital Territory.
