Caleana major Caleana minor

Caleana, commonly known as the Duck Orchid, is a genus of orchids from the Orchidoideae subfamily native to Australia. 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.
