 Australian Native Terrestrials
Native terrestrial orchids comprise many varying Genus and species; for the most part they tend to be deciduous, sending out new leaves, flowering then dying back to a subterranean tuber in a yearly cycle of growth.
The more commonly grown genuses in cultivation are Acianthus, Caladenia, Diuris, Pterostylis and Thelymitra's.
Light varies depending on the genus, Pterostylis and Acianthus prefer shadier conditions than the Diuris, Caladenia and the aptly named Sun Orchids Thelymitra's (So called because the flowers open as the sun rises and close by night).

The New Zealand Forms of Acianthus R. Br.

 Australian Native Orchids and Grow Orchids with Bribie Island Orchid Society
GROUP 2 The main genera and the easiest to grow are: (A) Pterostyks, Acianthus, Corybas species that usually grow in moist, humid leaf litter.
In the majority the colouration of both surfaces is similar but in a few terrestrials the under surface of the leaf can be purplish (Acianthus exsertus) or appear as if frosted (Corybas).
The leaves of deciduous terrestrial orchids are mainly basal and may be solitary (Acianthus, Thelyrnitra), in pairs (Chiloglottis), or form a spreading rosette (Pterostylis).
