Thelymitra campanulata, canaliculata & latiloba
These orchids have similar looking flowers, differing mainly in the shape of the column. They also inhabit very different locations. T. campanulata is found primarily in coastal sandy areas. T. canaliculata is found in and around swampy land along the coast from Perth to Albany while T. latiloba inhabits deep leaf litter areas in open Wandoo in the wheatbelt. T. latiloba was formerly known as T. azurea, which has been separated into two species, T latiloba and T. occidentalis (not pictured here.)
