Cyanicula sericea Silky Blue Orchid Endemic
This is a Western Australian endemic species which grew in similar places to other Cyanicula species at this site. This plant has distinct dark blue calli (small knobs) on the labellum (central structure of the flower) which help to distinguish it from C. gemmata growing nearby. The silky hairiness of the single leaf gives the plant its common name.
