Taxonomy and naming

Caladenia pendens was first described in 2001 by Stephen Hopper and Andrew Phillip Brown and the description was published in Nuytsia. At the same time they described two subspecies, including subspecies talbotii.[4] The subspecies name (talbotii) honours Len Talbot who was one of the first to recognise this subspecies as distinct.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Talbot's spider orchid is found between Beverley and Watheroo in the Jarrah Forest biogeographic region where it grows in wandoo woodland.[1][2][3][5]

Conservation

Caladenia pendens subsp. talbotii is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[5]
