Elythranthera
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Script error: No such module "Italic title". Elythranthera, commonly known as enamel orchids, is a genus of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It contains two species and a named hybrid, all endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. The genus was first formally described in 1963 by the Australian botanist Alex George who published his description in Western Australian Naturalist.
Two species are recognised:
- Elythranthera brunonis (Endl.) A.S.George[1] - purple enamel orchid;
- Elythranthera emarginata (Lindl.) A.S.George [2] - pink enamel orchid.
A hybrid between the two species was known as Elythranthera x intermedia. (Fitzg.) M.A.Clem [3]
In 2015, as a result of studies of molecular phylogenetics,[4] Mark Clements transferred the two Elythranthera species to Caladenia but the change is not accepted by the Australian Plant Census, nor by the Western Australian Herbarium.[5]
Plants of the World Online lists Elythranthera as a synonym of Caladenia.[6]
