This recently discovered orchid is known only from one nature reserve. It is very similar to the Clubbed Spider Orchid - Caladenia longiclavata, but is much smaller, with flowers around the size of C. drummondii (2-3cm). It is named in honour of it's discoverer.

Hello,
I am wondering if Caladenia williamsiae - William's Spider Orchid is named after William Burton (Bill) ?
Uncle Bill passed away in 2015 and I have misplaced the information he had sent me regarding the orchid named in his honour.
Uncle Bill resided in Subiaco, Western Australia.
I would be grateful if you could help me in this matter.
Regards Ellyn Thomson
Caladenia williamsiae is named after Judy Williams, who discovered it in 1999.
