Wine-lipped spider orchid (red morph)

Caladenia oenochila

Description:

The red morph is very similar to C. concolor (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/789...), which is apparently different due to bent back calli (knobbly bits on the tongue of the orchid). This species is very rare around Melbourne and listed as vulnerable within the country.

Habitat:

Herb rich foothill forest
