Occurrence remarks | Only one of this species of Greenhood seen. Hammond S. Aust. 5-11-50. Dear Mr Nicholls, I was pleased indeed to receive your letter and learn that the orchid sent was the wanted Prasophyllum validum. Thanks too for the note enclosed. I have always had a tender regard for orchids but have no detailed knowledge of them. As a boy I was familiar with the scrub country about Lake Albert and the Coorong where many fine species flourished including some huge sun orchids. I was frankly sorry to hear a year or two aho that the C.S.I.R.O had discovered the trace elements required to turn all that poor scrub land into excellent agricultural land. The scrub will soon disappear. It was the last extensive stronghold in S.A. for many orchids, for many species of jewel beetles (Buprestidae) and for kangaroos and emus. For the last 15 years I have been teaching at various schools within or near the Flinders Ranges and have in some localities lived years without seeing an orchid. The tanges dry out as one pursues them north although here and there a few relatively favored spots provides habitats for a species or two. As you suggested in your letter at Mt Remarkable. One if a Microtis and the other are Pterostylis. Yours sincerely Haus Mincham. Is the Pterostylis enclosed rufa? Same several plants of the Microtus growing but only the one of this species of green hood. |
