Cephalanthera erecta is a perennial orchid species found in bright deciduous forests
in mountainous regions, with stems measuring 10-25cm in height. In
an elliptical shape, 3-6 in number, leaves are of opposite
phyllotaxis, each 3-8cm long, embracing the stems and the tips
sharp. Shoot apexes bear several white flowers half open, the sepals
measuring 7-9mm long and the lateral petals shorter than those. The
lips become of short spurs with pale yellow-brown ridges. Bloom
time: May-June.
