Neofinetia falcata / Fuuran (Furan) フウラン

Spreading its aerial roots on trunks or rocks, Neofinetia falcata, an evergreen perennial, inhabits trunks and rocks in fields and mountains. The leaves are thick and stiff, 5-10cm long, 6-8mm wide, broadly linear, and out-curved. They have joints at the bases, and the ones that have survived the winter drop off, leaving old leaf sheaths covering the stems. Flower stalks grow to 3-10cm long and set 3-5 white flowers on them; sepals and side petals are both 1cm in length, linear-lanceolate, lips three-lobed, spurs slender, out-curved, and hanging down. Bloom time: June-July.
