Diuris corymbosa , syn. Diuris longifolia var. corymbosa, is a common species that grows in sand, granite and gravel in open forests, woodlands, and shrubland in winter wet areas of Western Australia. It has yellow flowers with reddish-brown markings and suffusions. This species is known as the Donkey orchid and is smaller than Diuris orientis from eastern Australia.
