Caladenia barbarossa, commonly known as the common dragon orchid is a species of orchid endemic to the south–west of Western Australia.

Description

Caladenia barbarossa is a common species of orchid in its range. It has a single leaf, 40–60 mm long and 5–10 mm wide. The flower stem is 100–300 mm and bears 1 or 2 flowers, each 25–40 mm x 20–30 mm, coloured cream to greenish yellow with red markings appearing from September to November.[1]

Distribution and habitat

The common dragon orchid is widespread and common, growing in sandy or clayey loams in moist situations in a wide range of habitats but especially Casuarina thickets and woodland on slopes and flats or near granite outcrops, swamps or streams.[1] It occurs in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographical regions of Western Australia.[2]

Taxonomy and naming

Caladenia barbarossa was first described by Reichenbach in 1871 in Beitrage zur Systematischen Pflanzenkunde, from a specimen collected by James Drummond in 1843 near the Swan River.[3] In a review of the genus Caladenia in 2004, C.barbarossa was renamed Drakonorchis barbarossa (Rchb.f.) D.L.Jones & M.A.Clem.[4][5] The specific epithet (barbarossa) is derived from the Italian words barba = beard and rossa = red.[6]
