Caleana
''Caleana'', commonly known as the Duck Orchid, is a genus of terrestrial Australian orchids from the Orchidoideae subfamily. As of May 2014, only one species is recognised: ''Caleana major'', native to New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria. Two other species (''C. minor'' and ''C. nigrita'') formerly included in this genus are now regarded as members of a different genus, ''Paracaleana''.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, ''Caleana'' )〕 Species in this genus are called "duck orchids" because of the form of the ''labellum''. The lip resembles a flying duck with clearly expressed beak. It is pollinated by the male sawfly in similar way to the pollination of ''Drakaea'' (the hammer Orchid). There are still problems with the classification of the Orchid in a subtribe. == References ==
