Taxonomy and naming
Caladenia pulchra was first described in 2001 by Stephen Hopper and Andrew Phillip Brown from a specimen collected near Jerramungup and the description was published in Nuytsia.[4] The specific epithet (pulchra) is a Latin word meaning "beautiful"[5] referring to the delicate flowers of this orchid.[2]
Distribution and habitat
The slender spider orchid is found between Jerramungup and Pithara in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions where it grows under dense sheoak and similar trees near temporary streams.[1][2][3][6]
Conservation
Caladenia pulchra is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[6]
