Here are a couple of pics of Phaius australis. The Australian Swamp Orchid. Not the best pics. The flowers have been chewed on somewhat by insect pests but at least you can get an idea of the flower. Different to tankervilleae in that the flowers are usually a darker colour with striations on them and the patterns on the labellum are also different. The flower tends to face horizontal to upward rather than downward facing like tankervilleae. Also the labellum does not usually cover the column, but this is not always the case. Hope you all enjoy.
