Caladenia fuscata, commonly known as dusky fingers, is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to eastern and south-eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is a small ground orchid found in eucalyptus woodland and which flowers in September and October.
Description
Caladenia fuscata is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single, sparsely hairy, narrow linear leaf, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide.[1][2][3]
The single white or pink flower is borne on a spike up to Шаблон:Convert high. The dorsal sepal is erect, linear in shape, Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide with a pointed end. The lateral sepals and petals are usually Шаблон:Convert long, about Шаблон:Convert wide, with their outer surfaces densely covered with a band of short, reddish-brown glandular hairs. The labellum is egg-shaped, about Шаблон:Convert long and wide, white or pinkish with three lobes and prominent red stripes. The mid-lobe is small and pointed with small teeth on the edge and several rows of yellow-tipped calli in the centre. The lateral lobes are prominent, broad and protrude past the mid-lobe. The column is Шаблон:Convert long, curves inwards and has narrow wings. Flowering occurs in September and October and is followed by a non-fleshy, dehiscent capsule containing a large number of seeds. It is similar to Caladenia carnea but is distinguished from it by its single flower, earlier flowering period and red stripes on the labellum and column.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy and naming
Caladenia fuscata was first formally described as Caladenia carnea var. fuscata by Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach in 1871.[4] It was raised to species status in 1989 by David Jones and Mark Clements.[5] The specific epithet (fuscata) is derived from the Latin word fusca meaning "brown"[6] in reference to the brownish coloration on the back of the sepals and petals.[7]
Distribution and habitat
Dusky fingers occurs in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia where it grows in open forest, woodland and coastal scrub in a range of soil types. It is mostly only found on the drier western side of the Great Dividing Range. It has also been recorded in New Zealand.[8]
