Genoplesium cornutum
Genoplesium cornutum, known as Corunastylis cornuta in Australia, is a small terrestrial orchid endemic to the Australian Capital Territory and nearby parts of New South Wales.[3] It was first formally described in 2008 by David Jones who gave it the name Corunastylis cornuta from a specimen collected from the Black Mountain Reserve and the description was published in The Orchadian.[4] In 2014 Julian Shaw changed the name to Genoplesium cornutum.[1] The specific epithet (cornutum) is a Latin word meaning "bearing horns".[5]
