Sarcochilus hillii

Sarcochilus hillii, commonly known as myrtle bells, [2] is a small epiphytic orchid native to eastern Australia and New Caledonia.

Sarcochilus hillii is a drooping, epiphytic herb with stems 20–50 mm (0.79–2.0 in) long.

[2][3] Myrtle bells was first formally described in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Dendrobium hillii and published the description in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae from a specimen collected near Moreton Bay by Walter Hill (garden curator).

[7][8] Sarcochilus hillii usually grows on trees in rainforest, often on Backhousia myrtifolia and occasionally on rocks.

It is found between Rockhampton in Queensland and Bega in New South Wales and it also occurs in New Caledonia.
