| Neofinetia falcata, known to orchid
enthusiasts around the world, might be thought to exist everywhere
in Japan but not. The Ministry of Environment of Japan designates
this as a CR(critically endangered), Shimane RDB listing it as a DD,
and thirty-two prefectures out of forty-seven listing in their RDB
as an endangered species, ranging from DD to CR+EN. This orchid
plant occurs on trunks, branches, and rocky cliffs. |
