Eriochilus dilatatus subsp. brevifolius
A small, deciduous terrestrial orchid from Western Australia that grows from an underground tuber and bears a single leaf and up to three flowers. It is a wild native rather than a common garden or houseplant, so care advice is limited.
Eriochilus dilatatus subsp. brevifolius, commonly known as the blunt-leaved bunny orchid, is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It has a single small, smooth leaf with wavy edges and a pale red lower surface, and up to three greenish and white flowers with red or mauve markings. It is distinguished from the other subspecies by the colour of the lower surface of its leaf and by its later flowering period.
The blunt-leaved bunny orchid grows in scrub and mallee-heath between Cataby and the Murchison River in the Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo biogeographic regions.
