The dorsal sepal is Шаблон:Convert long, about 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, about Шаблон:Convert wide and taper to narrow glandular tips similar to that on the dorsal sepal. The petals are Шаблон:Convert long, about Шаблон:Convert wide, narrow lance-shaped near the base then ending in a glandular tip Шаблон:Convert, about Шаблон:Convert wide and even more prominent than those on the sepals. The labellum is lance-shaped to egg-shaped, Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide and has seven to nine pairs of widely spaced, linear teeth on the edges.

Taxonomy and naming
Caladenia ensigera was first formally described in 2006 by David Jones, who gave it the name Arachnorchis ensigera 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 ensigera.[3][4] The specific epithet (ensigera) is derived from the Latin word ensiger meaning "sword-bearing",[5] referring to the bayonet-like tips of the sepals and petals.[1]
Distribution and habitat
This spider orchid only occurs in Alligator Gorge in the Mount Remarkable National Park where it grows in woodland with a shrubby understorey.[1]
