Prasophyllum diversiflorum
Gorae leek orchid (Prasophyllum diversiflorum) is a deciduous terrestrial orchid from south-western Victoria that grows from an underground tuber and flowers in summer. It is a wild, rare native that is not widely cultivated, so care depends on its grassland and seasonally wet habitat.
Prasophyllum brevilabre, commonly known as the Gorae leek orchid, is a species of orchid endemic to south-western Victoria. It has a single tubular, green leaf and up to forty greenish-brown flowers with reddish markings. It is a very rare orchid, now only known from two small, scattered populations. It was first recorded from Gorae West near Portland but is no longer found there.
The Gorae leek orchid occurs in south-western Victoria, growing in grassland and sedgeland which is often flooded in winter. It is only known from two small populations 90 km (60 mi) apart.
