(Western Australian Ground Orchids)		  
     
   
The south-western zone of Western Australia is one of the biodiversity hotspots on the planet, indeed the high botanical biodiversity is mirrored automatically by a proportionally high faunal diversity. The largest Family of plants in the world – Orchids – are well represented here with some highly adapted forms and specialised pollination relationships in evidence.
