Taxonomy and naming
Caladenia pholcoidea was first found to be 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 augustensis.[4] The subspecies name (augustensis) refers to the town of Augusta where the only known population of this subspecies occurs.[2]
Distribution and habitat
The only known population of this orchid occurs near Augusta, growing under dense Melaleuca shrubs in a winter-wet area.[1][2][3][5]
Conservation
Caladenia pholcoidea subsp. augustensis is classified as "Priority One" by the Department of Parks and Wildlife, Government of Western Australia,[5] which means that it is known from only one or a very few locations which are potentially at risk.[6]
