This Spider orchid distinguished by both its heavily clubbed petals (the two pointing downwards) and the long fringes on the labellum (middle bit sticking out like a tongue). It is reasonably common in the extreme south west corner of western Australia. The flowers can be yellowish or greenish and are quite similar to the much rarer Caladenia magniclavata (Big clubbed Spider Orchid).
