Taxonomy and naming

Calochilus stramenicola was first formally described in 2006 by David Jones and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[5] The specific epithet (stramenicola) is derived from the Latin word stramen meaning "straw", "litter" or "any material for bedding down"[6]Шаблон:Rp with the suffix -cola meaning "dweller",[6]Шаблон:Rp referring to the preference of this species for growing in accumulations of litter.[4]

Distribution and habitat

The wandoo beard orchid grows in thick accumulations of litter in wandoo woodland. It is found in a narrow band between Narrogin and Wannamal in the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions.[1][4][7]
