Is NZ’s smallest orchid flower at 3mm across. Seen December to January, but often doesn’t open. Said to be self pollinating, it occurs from the Three Kings to Stewart Island. Epiphytic on a range of host trees in high rainfall areas, the 3mm diameter pseudo bulbs, which form a mat on their ovate 6mm leaves, are the plant’s trademark. The flower emerges on a slender stem from the bottom of the pseudobulb. The seed capsule is split down the middle and is often mistaken for a primitive flower.
