Caladenia catenataThis deciduous terrestrial orchid grows in open eucalypt forest where the grass is sparse. The single leaf is grasslike to 15cm by 4mm, but is differentiated from grass as it is quite soft. The flower stem grows to about 30cm holding one or sometimes two flowers. The flower grows to about 25mm across and is generally white, but often with various shades of pink colouring to solid pink, often with a golden tip to the labellum.
Caladenia carnea and Caladenia catenata will hybridise where they occur together creating a confusing blend making identification difficult. |
