Oberonia flavescens
Also called Yellow Flowered King
Oberonia flavescens is a small, clump-forming epiphytic orchid from northern Queensland that grows on trees and rocks in humid rainforest. It needs shade, humidity and a loose, airy mount rather than soil.
Oberonia flavescens, commonly known as the northern green fairy orchid, is a plant in the orchid family and is a clump-forming epiphyte or lithophyte. It has between four and six leaves in a fan-like arrangement on each shoot and a large number of whitish to yellowish flowers arranged in whorls of between six and eight around the flowering stem. It is endemic to Queensland.
The northern green fairy orchid usually grows on trees and rocks in rainforest, sometimes in other humid, sheltered places such as mangroves. It is found between the Iron and Clarke Ranges in Queensland.
