Taxonomy and naming

Caladenia paludosa was first described in 2001 by Stephen Hopper and Andrew Phillip Brown from a specimen collected near Bunbury and the description was published in Nuytsia.[4] The specific epithet (paludosa) is a Latin word meaning "swampy" or "marshy"[5] referring to the winter-wet swamps where this species grows.[2]

Distribution and habitat

The swamp spider orchid is found on the coastal plain between Gingin and Gracetown in the Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions. It grows in thick scrubland which is swampy in winter.[1][2][3][6]

Conservation

Caladenia paludosa is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[6]
