Taxonomy and naming

Caladenia hildae was first formally described in 1928 by Edward Pescott and William Nicholls and the description was published in The Victorian Naturalist.[5][6] The specific epithet (hildae) honours Hilda Elliott for her assistance in obtaining grant money.[6] Although recognised by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne and the National Herbarium at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney as a valid name, C. hildae is regarded as a synonym of Caladenia testacea var. hildae by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.[7]

Distribution and habitat

Golden caps grows in sparse or heathy forest and woodland in high-altitude areas in New South Wales south from the Kybean Range and in Victoria mainly eastwards from Omeo.[2][1][4]

Conservation

Caladenia hildae is listed as "rare" by the Victorian Government Department of Sustainability and Environment.[3]
