Prasophyllum parvifolium
Prasophyllum parvifolium is a small tuberous terrestrial orchid from south-west Western Australia, grown mainly by native plant enthusiasts and orchid collectors rather than as a common garden plant. It needs a cool, moist winter growing season and a summer dormancy on a dry tuber.
Prasophyllum parvifolium, commonly known as autumn leek orchid, is a species of orchid endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a common species in its range and has a single smooth, tube-shaped leaf and up to eighteen or more green and white flowers with red stripes.
Autumn leek orchid is common in heath, woodland and forest between Eneabba and Manjimup in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions.
