Caladenia bryceana is a small terrestrial spider orchid from south-western Western Australia, growing from an underground tuber and producing a single leaf and usually one flower in August to October. It is a wild species rarely grown in gardens, so care depends on mimicking its native seasonal wet-winter, dry-summer cycle.
Caladenia bryceana is a species of flowering plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a dwarf spider orchid with a single spreading, hairy leaf and a single green to apricot-coloured flower. There are two subspecies differing in the features of the labellum.
This spider orchid grows along watercourses and in winter-west place in two widely disjunct populations in the Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
