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 are 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 short and spiny with pale yellow-brown
ridges. Bloom time: May-June.
