The dorsal sepal is narrow egg-shaped to elliptic with a narrow base, Шаблон:Convert long and about Шаблон:Convert wide. The lateral sepals are linear but tapered, Шаблон:Convert long, about Шаблон:Convert wide and erect near the base before curving downwards and spreading apart from each other.

Taxonomy and naming

Chiloglottis longiclavata was first formally described in 1991 by David Jones from a specimen collected in the Herberton Range and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[4] The specific epithet (longiclavata) is derived from the Latin words longus meaning "long"[5]Шаблон:Rp and clavus meaning "club" or "cudgel"[5]Шаблон:Rp referring to the glandular tips on the sepals of this species.[2]

Distribution and habitat

The northern wasp orchid grows in small colonies in tall forests and near rainforest margins on and between the Atherton Tableland and Eungella National Park. On the summit of Mount Bartle Frere it grows in stunted heath.[1][3]
