Drakaea glyptodon, commonly known as king in his carriage[2] is a species of orchid endemic to the south–west of Western Australia.

In this case, the leaf is heart shaped, about 10 millimetres (0.4 in) in diameter, glabrous, dull blue-grey with darker lines radiating from the attachment to the stem.

The rest of the labellum (representing the female "body" of the insect) is dark maroon in colour, hairy on the upper two-thirds and glabrous on the lower part.

[5] "The whole lip [labellum] resembles in form (miniature, of course) the enormous extinct tortoise-monster, glyptodon, a creature as large as an ox and covered with tesselated scales.

[7][8] Drakaea glyptodon is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.
