Dockrillia striolata, the streaked rock orchid is a small plant, often seen growing on cliff faces in south eastern Australia (New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania).[1] It produces fragrant creamy yellow flowers in spring. The specific epithet striolatum is derived from Latin, referring to “finely ridged”.[2]
