Short description: Extinct genus of orchids
Glossodia, commonly known as waxlip orchids, is a genus of mostly purple orchids from Australia . The genus was first formally described in 1810 by the prolific Scottish botanist Robert Brown who published his description in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae.[1][2]
Two species are recognised:[3]
- Glossodia major R.Br. - waxlip orchid, native to Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia;
- Glossodia minor R.Br. - small waxlip orchid, native to Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
In 2015, as a result of studies of molecular phylogenetics,[4] Mark Clements transferred the two Glossodia species to Caladenia, but the change is not recognised by the Australian Plant Census.[1]
Plants of the World Online lists Glossodia as a synonym of Caladenia.[5]
