Description
Caladenia flindersica is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single, dull green, narrow lance-shaped leaf, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with red or purple blotches near its base. The leaf and the flowering stem are densely covered with erect transparent hairs up to Шаблон:Convert long. One or two cream coloured flowers Шаблон:Convert wide are borne on a flowering stem Шаблон:Convert tall. The flowers fade to white as they age and the petals and sepals have thin, dark red to blackish, glandular tips. The dorsal sepal is Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, oblong near the base then tapering to a glandular tip Шаблон:Convert long and about Шаблон:Convert wide. The lateral sepals are lance-shaped near their bases, Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide and taper to narrow glandular tips similar to that on the dorsal sepal. The petals are Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, lance-shaped near the base then end in a glandular tip but shorter than those on the sepals. The labellum is lance-shaped to egg-shaped, Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide and has five to eight pairs of linear teeth Шаблон:Convert long on the edges. The tip of the labellum curls downward and there are four or six rows of purplish, stalked calli along the mid-line of the labellum. Flowering occurs in late August and September.[1]
Taxonomy and naming
Caladenia flindersica was first formally described in 2006 by David Jones, who gave it the name Arachnorchis flindersica and published the description in Australian Orchid Research from a specimen collected in Alligator Gorge.[2] In 2008, Robert Bates changed the name to Caladenia flindersica.[3][4] The specific epithet (flindersica) is a reference to the Flinders Ranges where this species occurs.[1]
Distribution and habitat
This spider orchid is only known from in and near Alligator Gorge where it grows among shrubs in Eucalypt forest.[1]
