CALADENIA LONGICAUDA COMPLEX
These orchids are often very difficult to classify from photographs as size and labellum structure are often not easy to portray. Classification is further complicated by variation within species and also by the fact that intermediate forms exist, particularly where distributions overlap.
Caladenia speciosa, C splendens, C pholcoidea ssp pholcoidea, C pholcoidea ssp augustensis, C busselliana and C lodgeana are obviously part of the C longicauda complex and should be included as a subspecies of that group.
I feel a complete revision is required.
