Caladenia dimorpha, commonly known as spicy caps,[1] is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to New South Wales. It is an uncommon ground orchid with a single sparsely hairy leaf, and up to three white flowers which often have pinkish markings.

Description

Caladenia dimorpha is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single, sparsely hairy leaf up to {{convert|18|cm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. Up to three white flowers are borne on a sparsely hairy spike up to {{convert|30|cm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} high and often have pink or purplish markings. The dorsal sepal is about {{convert|15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and curves forward, forming a hood over the column. The lateral sepals and petals are up to {{convert|20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, with the back surfaces greenish and covered with scattered glandular hairs. The front of the petals and sepals is glabrous. The labellum is broadly egg-shaped, about {{convert|8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and mostly white, sometimes with a dark red or purplish tip. The sides of the labellum have thin, finger-like teeth along most of their length. There are four rows of club-shaped, white to yellow calli along the mid-line of the labellum, becoming clumped and purple near its tip. The column has broad wings and red stripes. Flowering occurs from September to October.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Caladenia dimorpha was first formally described by Robert D. FitzGerald in 1875 and the description was published in Australian Orchids. The type specimen was collected near Bowenfels.[3] The specific epithet (dimorpha) is derived from the Ancient Greek words di meaning "two"[4]{{rp|823}} and morphe meaning "form" or "shape".[4]{{rp|534}}

Distribution and habitat

This uncommon caladenia grows in forest in the western part of the Blue Mountains almost to the Victorian border.[1][2]
