replaced synonym: Caladenia patersonii var. suaveolens Nicholls legitimate

• Etymology: "The specific epithet was chosen because the flowers of this species emit a strong pleasant fragrance."
• Text: "In raising this taxon to specific rank a new name was needed because the epithet 'suaveolens' had already been used by Reichenbach when he erroneously placed Lyperanthus suaveolens in Caladenia."
• Comment: nom. et stat. nov., non Caladenia suaveolens (R.Br.) Rchb.f. (1871).
