Taxonomy and naming

Hopper and Brown described two subspecies including the autonym Caladenia applanata subsp. applanata and the description was published in Nuytsia.[4] The specific epithet (applanata) is a Latin word meaning "flattened",[5] referring to the broad labellum.[2]

Distribution and habitat

The broad-lipped spider orchid is found in low heath, often over limestone, in coastal areas between Yallingup and Albany in the Jarrah Forest and Warren biogeographic regions[1][2][3][6]

Caladenia applanata subsp. applanata is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[6]
