Crepidium marsupichilum, commonly known as the pouched spur orchid,[2] is a plant in the orchid family and is endemic to tropical far north Queensland.
It is an evergreen, terrestrial orchid with an cone-shaped stem, light green, shiny leaves and a large number of purple flowers crowded along a green and purple flowering stem.
A large number of purple, non-resupinate flowers are crowded along a green and purple flowering stem 200–500 mm (8–20 in) long.
[2][3] The pouched spur orchid was first formally described in 1976 by Walter Thomas Upton who gave it the name Malaxis marsupichilum from a specimen collected in the McIlwraith Range.
[1][5] Crepidium marsupichilum is widespread and common in tropical north Queensland including in the Iron Range and McIlwraith Range and on Torres Strait Islands where it grows in leaf litter in shady rainforest.
