Caladenia praecox, commonly known as early caladenia[3] or early caps[4] is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It is a ground orchid with a single leaf and up to four white flowers which are often tinged with green or pink.

Description

Caladenia praecox is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single leaf, {{convert|60-120|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2-3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. Up to four white flowers which are often tinged with green or pink, are borne on a spike {{convert|60-130|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The backs of the sepals and petals have dark red glandular hairs. The dorsal sepal is {{convert|9-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|3-4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and curves forward, forming a hood over the column. The lateral sepals are {{convert|11-15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|3-5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and spread apart. The petals are {{convert|9-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, about {{convert|3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and spread widely. The labellum is white, often with red marks and is {{convert|6-7|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|4-6|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide. The sides of the labellum turn upwards and have stalked teeth and the tip is curled under. There are four or six rows of crowded calli in the mid-line of the labellum. Flowering occurs from August and October.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Caladenia praecox was first formally described in 1926 by William Nicholls and the description was published in The Victorian Naturalist.[4][5] The specific epithet (praecox) is a Latin word meaning "too early ripe" or "precocious".[6] Although recognised by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne as a valid name, C. praecox is regarded as a synonym of Caladenia dimorpha by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.[7]

Distribution and habitat

Caladenia praecox is widespread in Victoria especially in the Victorian goldfields and is often recorded from areas to the north-east of Melbourne, growing in open forest and woodland. In also occurs in the south-east of New South Wales.[1][2][8]

Conservation

Caladenia praecox is not listed under the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988.[2]
