'''Prasophyllum''' is a genus in the orchid family ([[Orchidaceae]]). Species of this genus are commonly called "Leek Orchids.' .There is no designated type species. ''Prasophyllum australe'' R.Br. was designated as [[lectotype]] ({{cite journal|author = Clements, M.A. |title= Catalogue of Australian Orchidaceae|journal= Australian Orchid Research|volume= 1|issue= 109|year=1989}})
The botanical name is derived from the Greek words ''prason'' (leek) and ''phyllon'' (leaf), referring the leek-like leaf.
These deciduous terrestrial orchids occur in [[Australia]], [[Tasmania]] and a few species in [[New Zealand]], growing on poor, sandy soils in temperate heaths and grasslands.
All species have prominent subterranean, tuberous, storage organs. They are sometimes called root-stem tuberoids, because their pole incorporates stem tissues.
''Prasophyllum'' species grow in mycorrhizal associations with the fungus [[Ceratobasidium]].
One can recognize the genus easily by the hollow, sheathing [[leaf]] through which the inflorescence, a [[spike]] of small inverted flowers, emerges. But many of the species are not easy to determine. Many species only flower following summer fires.
The whitish [[flower]]s are tinged or streaked with pink or green. Most of these species are fragrant. They are [[pollination|pollinated]] by insects. Interspecific [[hybridization]] is very common. Flowers from the spike can characteristics of different species.
The [[sepal]]s and [[petal]]s are narrow and inconspicuous. This makes them not very popular amongst orchid hunters.
The [[labellum|lip]] on the upper side of the flower is broad and slightly waved at the edge, often bearing an inner plate. This lip can be rigid and sessile or on a short claw. Some species have secretory tissue associated with the base of the labellum. The column is very short.
== Species ==
About 110 species.
The genus is divided in several sections : Bifida, Genoplesium, Integra, Podochilus, Prasophyllum.
''[[Genoplesium]]'' and ''Prasophyllum'' belong to the same lineage in the cladistic tree. ''Genoplesium'' is cladistically close to ''Prasophyllum'', which brings into doubt its status as a segregate genus
