Caladenia flava subsp. flava, commonly known as the cowslip orchid,[2] is a species of orchid endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a relatively common orchid with a single, hairy leaf and up to three golden-yellow flowers which often have red markings.

Description

Caladenia flava subsp. flava is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber which grows in colonies of hundreds to thousands of individuals. It has a single, broad, hairy leaf, {{convert|60-120|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and about {{convert|10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The leaf is relatively long for the species' size, often tinged red or purple on the lower side and is narrower beyond its middle. Up to three (rarely four) flowers {{convert|20-50|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|20-40|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide are borne on stalks {{convert|100-250|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The sepals and petals are short, broad, taper to a point and contracted at the base. They spread stiffly and are usually yellow, occasionally pinkish or white, and marked with magenta. The dorsal sepal is erect, {{convert|15-25|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|7-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with a reddish line of splotches along the centre. The lateral sepals are larger than the dorsal sepal, {{convert|20-40|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|7-15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The petals are {{convert|12-24|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|6-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The labellum is {{convert|10-15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|10-13|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and has three lobes. The lateral lobes are egg-shaped, sometimes with four to six club-shaped teeth. The middle lobe has four to six erect teeth and there are two rows of calli along its centre forming a U-shape. The column has wings on its sides and flowering occurs from July to early December.[1][2][3][4]

This subspecies differs from subspecies maculata which has lemon-yellow flowers with fawn-brown or red blotches, 8 to 16 teeth on the labellum and mostly occurs north of Geraldton. It differs from subspecies sylvestris which has pale yellow sepals and petals which are white towards their tips and have a central line of prominent bright red or pink spots forming a line along the dorsal sepal. It occurs mostly between Albany and Bunbury.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Caladenia flava was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown. The description was published in Brown's book Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen from a specimen in Archibald Menzies' early collection.[5][6]

In 2001, Stephen Hopper and Andrew Phillip Brown described three subspecies of Caladenia flava including the autonym Caladenia flava subsp. flava and published the descriptions in Nuytsia.[7] The specific epithet ("flava") is a Latin word meaning "golden-yellow".[8]

Distribution and habitat

Cowslip orchid grows in a range of soils, often in winter wet areas, in forest, the coastal woodlands and on the granite outcrops between Geraldton and Israelite Bay in most biogeographic regions of the South-West Province and in the Coolgardie region of the Eremaean Province. The species has been identified as occurring with burnt trees, including marri gum.[1][2][3][4][9]

Conservation

Caladenia flava subsp. flava is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[9]
