Caladenia phaeoclavia
Caladenia phaeoclavia, the brown-clubbed spider orchid, is a small terrestrial orchid from eucalypt forest in New South Wales, growing from an underground tuber and dying back each year. It is a rare, wild species and is seldom grown in gardens, so care advice is limited.
Caladenia phaeoclavia, commonly known as the brown-clubbed spider orchid, is a species of orchid endemic to New South Wales. It has a single, hairy leaf and a single light to dark green flower with red stripes and thick, brownish club-like tips on the sepals.
The brown-clubbed spider orchid is found in New South Wales, south from the Bathurst district where it grows in eucalypt forest often on ridges and slopes. It probably also occurs in Victoria.
