Platanthera mandarinorum ssp. maximowicziana
var. cornu-bovis,
a perennial orchid species, inhabits damp to wet locations in the
subalpine zone, growing to 30-60cm in height. Of alternate
phyllotaxis, leaves, some number, in the shape of a long oblong,
attach themselves on the middle parts of stems, with tips obtuse,
bases embracing the branches. The leaves on the upper parts are
linear and small. Stem tips give birth to inflorescences in a raceme
way and set light green to green-white flowers in them; lips are
ligulate, and spurs are long, measuring 2-3cm in length. Bloom time:
July. |
