Caladenia marginata, the white fairy orchid, is a species of orchid which is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.[1][2] It grows up to 20 cm in height and produces white flowers between September and November (spring) in its native range.
The species was first formally described by botanist John Lindley in 1839 in A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony.[2]
