Default Diuris furiosa

Name should be Diuris fucosa. According to Helen D. fucosa is known from
only 2 localities in NSW, the type being from near Lake Urana.

om...
Helen Richards grew this one so I have sent her an e-mail asking for more
details. I will also check the Australian Orchid Foundation "Orchid
Research" books and my copies of Orchadian as well.

I'm sure I got the name right as I photographed Helen's label.

John, given your comments, I didn't bother to check my books. But,
checking all
the more arcane references discovered during the work on my cross-index
to Jones
(2006), I found no reference to anything that looked remotely like
"Diuris
furiosa". Anything in the "Orchadian"? I don't have that.

Apparently this is a newly described species grown by Helen Richards. I
don't know anything about it as a Google search drew a blank and it is
not
mentioned in Jones's book. Anyone know anything about this species?
