Abstract
Two rare species, Thelymitra alpicola Jeanes and Thelymitra incurva Jeanes, are described as new and illustrated. Their relationship with Thelymitra cyanea (Lindl.) Benth., Thelymitra erosa D.L.Jones and M.A.Clem. and Thelymitra venosa R.Br. is discussed and information on distribution, habitat, pollination biology, flowering time and conservation status is given for all five species. A key is also provided to distinguish the five species. The confusion arising from the incorrect application of names in the complex is discussed, including reference to the related New Zealand species Thelymitra pulchella Hook.f.
