Caladenia leptoclavia, commonly known as the thin-clubbed spider orchid, is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to New South Wales. It is a ground orchid with a single hairy leaf and a single pale cream-coloured to yellow flower with dark reddish stripes.
Description
Caladenia leptoclavia is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single, lance-shaped, dull green hairy leaf, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with a reddish base. Usually only a single cream-coloured to yellow flower with dark reddish, central stripes is borne on a thin, wiry, hairy spike Шаблон:Convert tall. The sepals have thin, dark red to blackish club-like ends Шаблон:Convert long. The dorsal sepal is erect, Шаблон:Convert long and about Шаблон:Convert wide near the base. The lateral sepals are a similar size and shape to the dorsal sepal but spread widely and stiffly. The petals are Шаблон:Convert long and about Шаблон:Convert wide and droop slightly. The labellum is egg-shaped to heart-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide and is sometimes all red, or dark maroon with a white base. The tip of the labellum curls under and there are between eight and ten red teeth up to Шаблон:Convert long on each side of the labellum. There are four rows of calli Шаблон:Convert long along the mid-line of the labellum and which decrease in size towards the tip. Flowering occurs from September to October.[1][2][3][4]
Taxonomy and naming
Caladenia leptoclavia was first formally described by David Jones in 1991 from a specimen collected near Bethungra, and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[5] The specific epithet (leptoclavia) is derived from the Ancient Greek word λεπτός leptos meaning "thin" or "slender",[6]Шаблон:Rp and the Latin word clava meaning "club",[6]Шаблон:Rp referring to the thin "clubs" on the sepals.[2]
Distribution and habitat
Thin-clubbed spider orchid has a restricted distribution in New South Wales where it is only known from near Bethungra, Cowra and Eugowra where it grows in forest.[1][2][3][4]
