Taxonomy and naming

Caladenia luteola was first described in 2001 by Stephen Hopper and Andrew Phillip Brown from a specimen collected near Woodanilling and the description was published in Nuytsia.[4][5] The specific epithet (luteola) is a Latin word meaning "yellowish"[6] referring to the colour of the flowers.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Lemon spider orchid occurs between Woodanilling and Katanning in the Avon Wheatbelt biogeographic region where it grows on low, sandy hills near salt lakes and temporary creeks.[1][2][3][7]

Conservation

Caladenia luteola is classified as "Threatened Flora (Declared Rare Flora — Extant)" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife[7] meaning that it is likely to become extinct or is rare, or otherwise in need of special protection.[8]
