Appearance
''Corybas aconitiflorus'' grows from a pair of small tubers, to which it dies down in the dormant season. The stems are short and upright, with generally a single flat, smooth, basal leaf. The single flower is small. The hooded uppermost sepal covers and hides most of the rest of the flower. The remaining sepals and the lateral petals are similar in appearance. The lower petal, the lip or labellum, is much smaller than the other petals and sepals. It is undivided with its margins turned inwards. The thin column is wider at the base and has fused wings along its body. There are terminal persistent pollen masses , cream in colour, are fixed directly to the viscidia . Little is known about the pollination mechanism of this species, because the flower is hidden by the dorsal sepal and the species is difficult to cultivate.References:
