Platanthera mandarinorum
var. brachycentron is a perennial orchid inhabiting a sunny
grassland, erecting upward, 20-40cm tall. The leaf in the lowest,
narrow oblong, or linear-oblong shape, is incomparably more
prominent than the others, measuring 5-11cm in length. Flowers come
in light yellow-green in a raceme, the spur being lengthening
backward. At times, they may, in shape, associate with Platanthera
nipponica. |
