Platanthera minor is
a perennial orchid plant found in forests in hills or shallow
mountains, with the roots being thick in a fusiform way. Stems grow
to 30-60cm tall, with prominent vertical ridges. Leaves, 2 or 3 on
the lower portion of the stems, are large and gradually decrease
upwards. The large ones, oblong in shape, measure 7-12cm in length
and 2.5cm in width. Flowers are yellowish-green; the dorsal sepals
and the side petals overlap, the spurs measuring 1.2-1.5 - longer
than the ovaries.
