Microtis media – Common Mignonette Orchid
Microtis alba – White Mignonette Orchid
Distinguished from Beautiful Mignonette Orchid, M. pulchella by its long terminally divided labellum and highly perfumed flowers.
Microtis alboviridis – Scented Mignonette Orchid
Similar in appearance to the White Mignonette Orchid, M. alba but is distinguished by its smaller, yellowish-green flowers and less prominently divided labellum
Microtis atrata – Swamp Mignonette Orchid
The Swamp Mignonette Orchid is the smallest of the Microtis species. Generally found growing in dense colonies and because of its distinctive yellowish-green colouration is relatively easy to see.
Microtis pulchella – Beautiful Mignonette Orchid
Differs from the more common White Mignonette Orchid, M. alba in having thinner-textured flowers, more spreading petals and sepals and a labellum with a rounded, rather than divided apex.
