| Prasophyllum
(leek-orchids) is one of the largest of Tasmania's genera of
orchids, with 32 species currently recognised.
The plants have a single cylindrical leaf and an erect
stem bearing several to many flowers. The individual
flowers are fairly small and inconspicuous, but
many-flowered plants can be quite showy.
This genus is sometimes confused with
Microtis, but tends to be larger, and the
flowers are inverted.
