''Dockrillia linguiformis'', commonly known as the button orchid , tongue orchid or tick orchid, is a common small orchid, growing north from Ulladulla in south eastern New South Wales, Australia. It was originally described as ''Dendrobium linguiforme'' by Swedish botanist Olof Swartz in 1800, and commonly known by this name for many years until given its current name in 1981 by Brieger. The species name is derived from the Latin words ''linguis'' "tongue" and ''forma'' "shape". The habitat is eucalyptus forest or rainforest. However it can survive in drier fire free areas west of the Great Dividing Range such as near Tamworth in northern New South Wales. The thick and leathery leaves grow from a creeping rhizome, either as an epiphyte on trees or as a lithophyte on rocks. Flowering occurs in September and October.
