Leporella
''Leporella fimbriata'', commonly known as ''hare orchid'' or ''fringed hare orchid'', is the only species in the flowering plant genus ''Leporella'' in the orchid family, Orchidaceae and is endemic to the southern Australia mainland. It is related to orchids in the genus ''Caladenia'' but has an unusual labellum and does not have hairy leaves. Its pollination mechanism is also unusual. Description ''Leporella fimbriata'' is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, sympodial herb with a few inconspicuous, fine roots and an oval-shaped tuber lacking a protective sheath. The tuber produces two "droppers" which become the daughter tubers in the following year. Unlike those in some other orchids, the droppers are produced well away from the parent tuber at the end of long, root-like stolons. There are one or two egg-shaped to lance-shaped, glabrous leaves at the base of the stem. The leaves are often small when the orchid flowers, but increase in size to long and wide, turning bluis ...

Taxonomy Of The Orchidaceae
The taxonomy of the Orchidaceae (orchid family) has evolved slowly during the last 250 years, starting with Carl Linnaeus who in 1753 recognized eight genera.Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linné). 1753. ''Species Plantarum'', 1st edition, vol. 2, pages 939-954. Holmiae: Impensis Laurentii Salvii (Lars Salvius). (A facsimile with an introduction by William T. Stearn was published by the Ray Society in 1957). (See ''External links'' below). De Jussieu recognized the Orchidaceae as a separate family in his Genera Plantarum in 1789.Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. 1789. "ORCHIDEAE" pages 64-66. In: ''Genera plantarum: secundum ordines naturales disposita,···'' (See ''External links'' below). Olof Swartz recognized 25 genera in 1800.Olof Swartz. 1800. "Afhandling om Orchidernes Slägter och deras Systematiska indelning". ''Kongliga vetenskaps academiens nya handlingar'' 21:115-139. (See ''External links'' below).

Rudolf Schlechter
Friedrich Richard Rudolf Schlechter (16 October 1872 – 16 November 1925) was a German taxonomist, botanist, and author of several works on orchids. He went on botanical expeditions in Africa, Indonesia, New Guinea, South and Central America and Australia. His vast herbarium was destroyed during the bombing of Berlin in 1945. Early life Rudolf Schlechter was born on 16 October 1872 in Berlin, the third of six children. His father Hugo Schlechter was a lithographer. After finishing school at the Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium he started a horticulture education, first at the gardening market of Mrs. Bluth and then at the University of Berlin garden. There he worked as an assistant till the autumn of 1891. His brother was Max Schlechter (1874–1960), was a German trader and collector of natural history specimens. Career Rudolf Schlechter began his career of botanical fieldwork by leaving Europe in 1891 to journey to Africa and subsequently across Indonesia and Australia. Thr ...

Lyperanthus
''Lyperanthus'', commonly known as beak orchids, is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid Family (biology), family, Orchidaceae, that is Endemism, endemic to Australia. There are two species, one in Western Australia and the other in four eastern Australian states, distinguished by their single long, narrow, leathery leaf and dull coloured flowers which have prominent short Labellum (botany), calli on their Labellum (botany), labellum. Both form loose colonies which reproduce asexually from their tubers, and sexually using their flowers. Description Orchids in the genus ''Lyperanthus'' are terrestrial, Perennial plant, perennial, deciduous, sympodial herbs usually with a few inconspicuous, fine roots and an oval-shaped, tuber lacking a protective Tunica (biology), sheath. Each year, new tubers develop on the ends of long, root-like stolons. There is a single, erect, leathery, stiff, linear to lance-shaped leaf, long, wide with tiny pimple-like Gland (botany), glands on th ...

Pyrorchis
''Pyrorchis'', commonly known as beak orchids, is a genus of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae and is endemic to Australia. It contains two species which were previously included in the genus ''Lyperanthus'', also known as beak orchids. Both species have fleshy, oval leaves and form colonies which flower profusely after bushfires. Description Orchids in the genus ''Pyrorchis'' are terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, sympodial herbs with a few inconspicuous, fine roots and an oval-shaped tuber lacking a protective sheath. Replacement tubers are formed on the end of long, thin root-like stolons. There are between one and three broad, fleshy, egg-shaped to heart-shaped leaves at the base of the plant. The leaves are long, wide and bright green, sometimes with black markings. There are up to eight resupinate flowers on a stalk high. The stalk is often surrounded by two or three loose, leaf-like bracts up to long. The dorsal sepal is lance-shaped, about long a ...
