Family:  Orchidaceae
Author:  Hook.f.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  0.6   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Clay banks, gumland, pakihi and other boggy places in North, South, Stewart and Chatham Islands[44].

Cultivation Notes: Orchids are, in general, shallow-rooting plants of well-drained low-fertility soils. Their symbiotic relationship with a fungus in the soil allows them to obtain sufficient nutrients and be able to compete successfully with other plants. They are very sensitive to the addition of fertilizers or fungicides since these can harm the symbiotic fungus and thus kill the orchid[230].
