Thanks for the comment again Ric, on further investigation the shot in question has now been removed and we will…
Pyrorchis nigricans
Fire Orchid
Has been known as Red Beaks and Elephants’ Ears
These orchids were removed from Lyperanthus (Beak Orchids) and placed in the new genus Pyrorchis.
pyr (fire) + orchis (orchid) = Fire Orchid
The common name Beak Orchids no longer applies. Fire Orchids has been selected as the new common name.
