Cymbidium macrorhizon
is a rootless/leafless saprophyte in the
orchid family; the plant body, which is nothing but a stem,
ordinarily lives underground, getting water and nutrients from a
fungus. As the flowering season (July-August) approaches, it
produces a 10-30cm flower stalk and sparsely sets 2-6 white flowers
with red-purple patterns on the shoot apex. The lip is long and
oblong, measuring approximately 1.5cm long. The peduncle appears
green, but this is not due to chlorophyll pigments. Bloom time:
July-August. |
