Similar to Glossodia but the labellum with lamina calli and small marginal teeth near tip. See full description under Glossadenia tutelata.
A monotypic genus endemic in south-eastern Australia. A result of hybridisation between Glossodia major and Pheladenia deformis.
xPhelodia is a replacement name for xGlossadenia (syn. xCalassodia) as is required, under the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature, when Pheladenia is treated as a genus distinct from Caladenia as it is here (Kellermann & Monro, 2021 a,b).
