> One of the rare species - the Majors Creek leek orchid - is found nowhere else...
An interesting article outlining the contrast between conservation and community attitudes. The leek orchid is the common name applied to plants of the genus Prasophyllum R. Br. The species mentioned is similar to P. caricetum D. L. Jones but is thought to be a separate taxon, as P. caricetum flowers in late summer while the Majors Creek Leek Orchid flowers in mid-spring I found this paper on Prasophyllum: http://www.rsbs.anu.edu.au/Profiles/Dean_Rouse/Pdfs/PrasReportWeb.pdf Cheers...Steve _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
