Galeola septentrionalis,
a saprophytic orchid species lacking chlorophyll, occurs in the
forests in mountainous regions. Stems are thick, yellowish-brown,
growing up to 1m in height, making many branches. Scale-like stuff
on the stems has degenerated leaves, which makes it feel weird. Upper
units each set 3cm long yellow-brown flowers in a racemose manner.
Bloom time: June-July.
