Caladenia javanica is a species of plant in the orchid family, Orchidaceae and is endemic to Indonesia. It has a single linear leaf and an erect, hairy stem with one or two flowers. The sepals and petals are lance-shaped to oblong and the labellum has purple lines and yellow calli. This orchid grows on grassy, rocky slopes.[2] It was first formally described by Henry Ridley from an unpublished manuscript by John Bennett and the description was published in Henry Forbes's book, A Naturalist's Wanderings in the Eastern Archipelago.[1][2] Plants of the World Online lists Caladenia javanica as a synonym of Caladenia catenata.[3]
