Caladenia integra
Caladenia integra is a deciduous terrestrial orchid from south-west Western Australia, grown from an underground tuber and flowering from late September to November. It is a wild species rarely grown in cultivation, so care notes are based on its natural habitat.
Caladenia integra, commonly known as the smooth-lipped spider orchid, is a species of plant in the orchid family, Orchidaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It can be distinguished by its distinctive smooth-edged labellum and its upswept lateral sepals.
The smooth-lipped orchid occurs in isolated populations between Clackline and Tenterden with a disjunct population near Kalbarri in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions. It mainly grows under sheoak trees on granite outcrops.
