Eriochilus dilatatus subsp. magnus
A small terrestrial orchid from Western Australia that grows from an underground tuber and dies back after flowering. It is grown mainly by enthusiasts and is hard to keep in cultivation because it needs a cool, moist, seasonal cycle.
Eriochilus dilatatus subsp. magnus, commonly known as the Easter bunny orchid, is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It has a single large, smooth, flattened leaf and up to twenty five dull green, red and white flowers. It is found in high rainfall areas between Perth and Albany.
The Easter bunny orchid grows in high rainfall forest and is locally common between Perth and Porongurup National Park in the Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions.
