Taxonomy and naming

Caladenia flavovirens was first formally described by Geoffrey Carr in 1991 from a specimen collected near Montrose. The description was published in Indigenous Flora and Fauna Association Miscellaneous Paper 1.[5] The specific epithet (flavovirens) is from the Latin words flavus meaning “golden-yellow” or "yellow"[6]Шаблон:Rp and virens meaning "green".[6]Шаблон:Rp

Distribution and habitat

Summer spider orchid grows among shrubs in near-coastal areas and in open forest with grass or heath on mountains. It is only found in Victoria where it was once common but now rare and possibly extinct in areas near Portland, Lorne and Marlo.[1][2]

Conservation

Caladenia flavovirens is listed as "rare" in the Department of Environment and Primary Industries Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria.[7]
