Description
Caladenia evanescens is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber. It has a single erect, hairy leaf, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide which often withers during the flowering period. One or two cream-coloured to greenish-cream flowers Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide are borne on a stalk Шаблон:Convert tall. The dorsal sepal is erect, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide at the base. The lateral sepals are about the same size as the dorsal sepal and are stiffly held at an angle below the horizontal and curve downwards. The petals are Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide at their bases and are stiffly held at an angle above the horizontal and curve upwards. The labellum is creamy yellow with red lines and spots, with short teeth along part of the sides and about ten pairs of white to cream-coloured, anvil-shaped calli in two rows along its centre. Flowering occurs in November.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy and naming
Caladenia evanescens was first described by Stephen Hopper and Andrew Brown in 2001 from a specimen near Peaceful Bay, Denmark. The description was published in Nuytsia.[4] The specific epithet (evanescens) is a Latin word meaning "disappearing"[5] referring to the rarity of the species.[2]
Distribution and habitat
Semaphore spider orchid is only known from two locations between Albany and Peaceful Bay in the Jarrah Forest and Warren biogeographic regions where it grows on the base of coastal sand dunes.[1][2][3][6]
Conservation
Caladenia evanescens is classified as "Priority One" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife,[6] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.[7]
