Cremastra unguiculata
is a perennial orchid species that inhabits
the floors of deciduous tree forests in hilly districts, with
rhizomes attaching to long, thin underground roots. From the
rhizomes emerge two leaves, each in the shape of an oblong, 10-12cm
in length, 3-5cm in width; the tip is sharp, and the bases gradually
narrow toward peduncles. Flower stalks emerge from bulbs, forming
racemes that are approximately 3 cm in diameter and contain 6-12
half-open yellow-brown flowers. Bloom time: May-June. |
