Taxonomy and naming

Caladenia septuosa was first formally described in 1991 by David Jones and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[3][2] The specific epithet (septuosa) is a Latin word meaning "obscure"[4] referring to the small lateral lobes on the labellum.[2]

Distribution and habitat

The Koppio spider orchid is endemic to the Eyre Peninsula where it grows in woodland.[1][2]

Conservation

Caladenia septuosa is locally common and conserved in reserves.[2]
