Galeola septentrionalis, a
saprophytic orchid species lacking chlorophyll pigments, occurs in
the forests in mountainous regions. Stems are thick,
yellowish-brown, growing up to 1 meter in height, with numerous
branches. Scale-like stuff on the stems has degenerated leaves,
which makes it feel weird. Each upper unit bears 3 cm-long,
yellow-brown flowers in a racemose arrangement. Bloom time:
June-July.
