SMALL GOLDEN MOTHS ORCHID (D. Sp. aff Lanceolata)
- AN ORCHID AT THE EDGE
A paper by Dr Colin Hocking of the Science and Engineering Faculty, Victoria
University of Technology, about a small orchid now believed to survive on
only one freehold block in North Altona, zoned as industrial land under
the former City of Altona Planning Scheme. Colin examines how this orchid
was pushed to the brink of extinction, and what we must now do to save it.
