Eriochilus glareosus
Scarp bunny orchid is a small, tuberous terrestrial orchid native to a restricted area of south-western Western Australia, found in disturbed gravel sites in woodland. It is a wild species seldom cultivated, so care advice is limited and based on its native habitat.
Eriochilus glareosus, commonly known as scarp bunny orchid, is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to a restricted area in the south-west of Western Australia. It is a terrestrial, tuberous herb with a single, egg-shaped, stem-clasping leaf and usually up to two small, white flowers with purple markings, and grows in disturbed places in woodland.
Scarp bunny orchid is mostly commonly found near open, revegetated gravel reserves in Jarrah and Casuarina woodland in a few locations in the Roleyston-Martin area in the Jarrah Forest bioregion of south-western Western Australia.
