Gastrodia pubiabiata is a chlorophyll-lacking saprophytic orchid species found in Japanese-cedar forests or bamboo forests; the stem measures 2-3cm in height and has some membranous ramenta. The shortened raceme bears some flowers from the shoot apex in a bundled manner; the peduncles, approximately 2cm, grow several times longer in the fruit period. The flowers are dingy purplish-brown; the connate sepals are cleft in three. Bloom time: September-October.
