Prasophyllum
''Prasophyllum'', commonly known as leek orchids, is a genus of about 140 species of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae and is found in Australia and New Zealand. The Australian species are found in all states but have not been recorded in the Northern Territory. The common name arises from their having a hollow, leek- or onion-like leaf. Some species only flower after summer fires and have flowers similar to those of ''Xanthorrhoea'' which flower at the same time, suggesting that they employ the same pollinating insects. Leek orchids are similar to those in the genus ''Genoplesium'' except that the free part of the leaf is cylindrical (flat in ''Genoplesium'') and the labellum has a solid (rather than flexible) connection to the column. They range in size from the little laughing leek orchid ('' P. gracile'') at about to the king leek orchid ('' P. regium'') which grows up to tall.

Prasophyllum Australe
''Prasophyllum australe'', commonly known as southern leek orchid or austral leek orchid, is a species of orchid and is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It has a single tubular, green leaf and up to fifty scented, greenish-brown flowers with red stripes. Description ''Prasophyllum australe'' is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single green, tube-shaped leaf up to long and in diameter near its reddish base. Up to fifty or more highly scented flowers are arranged along of a thin flowering spike high. The flowers are greenish-brown with white reddish stripes and are often sweetly fragrant. As with others in the genus, the flowers are inverted so that the labellum is above the column rather than below it. The ovary is long and pressed against the flowering stem. The lateral sepals are about long, joined for most of their length and form the uppermost part of the flower. The dorsal and lateral sepals and the petals are similar in size a ...
