''Glossodia'' is a genus of mostly purple orchids from Australia. In spring vast numbers of ''Glossodia major'' flower on uncleared land. There are only two recognised species: *''Glossodia major'' R.Br. - waxlip orchid, native to Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. *''Glossodia minor'' R.Br. - small waxlip orchid, native to Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. == Cultivation == ''Glossodia'' are difficult to maintain in cultivation. Growing from seed ''in vitro'' has yielded very poor results, and plants taken from the wild usually last only a few years. This may be due to the plants' complete reliance on a symbiotic fungus for nutrition. These orchids form no roots and obtain nutrients from mycorrhizal fungi. A reasonably successful solution to this has been to grow new plants in the same pot each year. This usually requires hand pollination, but it can result in a better yield. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glossodia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
