Cephalanthera erecta var. subaphylla is a perennial orchid species in hilly district forests. Its stems grow to 10-15cm in height during flowering, with the leaves retrogressing as if to change into sheaths. The highest-positioned ones, 1-2cm in length, look close to standard, though. Shoot tops set 2-3, about 1cm long, with half-open white flowers. There is one or two bracts at the base of the peduncles. The lip's central lobes are equipped with three yellow-brown ridges. Bloom time: May-June.
