The Tallong Midge Orchid (Genoplesium plumosum (Rupp) D. L. Jones and M. A. Clements) occurs only in New South Wales and is currently known from a few sites in and near the town of Tallong, and one site south-east of Wingello. Both towns are located east of Marulan on the Southern Tablelands. The species is a small ground orchid that is only readily visible for about a month when flowering between late summer and autumn.
