Caladenia wanosa, commonly known as the Kalbarri spider orchid, is a species of orchid endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It has a single erect, hairy leaf and one or two cream-coloured flowers with red stripes. It is common but only in a restricted area of the state.
The species name "wanosa" is
a clever acronym. Listed to be from the initials of (the) West Australian Native Orchid Study (& Conservation Group).
