It is a ground orchid with a single hairy leaf and a single pale yellow flower with thick reddish tips on the sepals and petals. It is only known from a single hill near Eugowra. DescriptionCaladenia whiteheadii is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single, dull green, lance-shaped leaf, {{convert|50-140|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|7-13|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide with red to purple blotches near its base. The leaf and the flowering stem are very densely covered with erect transparent or whitish hairs up to {{convert|4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. A single pale yellow flower {{convert|40-60|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide is borne on a wiry flowering stem {{convert|150-300|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall. The dorsal sepal is {{convert|35-40|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|2-2.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, oblong to elliptic near the base then tapers to a reddish glandular tip. The lateral sepals are lance-shaped to egg-shaped near their bases, {{convert|40-45|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|3-4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and gradually taper to a reddish glandular tip. The petals are {{convert|30-35|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|2.5-3|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} wide, narrow lance-shaped near the base then gradually taper to a thin glandular tip. The labellum is egg-shaped to lance-shaped, {{convert|11-14|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|8-10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and has up to eight pairs of red, linear teeth up to {{convert|1|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long on the edges. The tip of the labellum curls downward and there are four rows of red, mostly linear calli along the mid-line of the labellum. Flowering occurs in September and October.[1]Taxonomy and namingCaladenia whiteheadii was first formally described in 2006 by David Jones who gave it the name Arachnorchis whiteheadii. The specimen was collected near Eugowra and the description was published in Australian Orchid Research.[2] In 2010 Gary Backhouse changed the name to Caladenia whiteheadii and published the change in The Victorian Naturalist.[3] The specific epithet (whiteheadii) honours Brian Whitehead who collected the type specimen.[1]Distribution and habitatThis spider orchid is only known from a single hill near Eugowra where it grows in shrubby forest.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite journal|last1=Jones|first1=David L.|title=New taxa of Australian Orchidaceae|journal=Australian Orchid Research|date=2006|volume=5|pages =64–65}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q9674057}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Arachnorchis whiteheadii|url= https://id.biodiversity.org.au/instance/apni/616263|accessdate=7 April 2017}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Caladenia whiteheadii|url= https://id.biodiversity.org.au/instance/apni/657238|accessdate=17 February 2017}} 5 : Caladenia|Endemic orchids of Australia|Orchids of New South Wales|Plants described in 2006|Taxa named by David L.
