Notes: The species is self-pollinating. It forms dense colonies and replaces native ground flora where it occurs in Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria. First herbarium specimens were collected in Western Australia in 1944, in South Australia in 1988 and in Victoria in 1994. Populations of this orchid have increased rapidly where the species has established. |
