Gastrodia elata f. pallens/ Oninoyagara
/ Shirotenma シロテンマ
Gastrodia elata f. pallens
is a terrestrial orchid occurring in leaf mold in forests
below evergreen trees, where it is humid. It is a pale yellow-white
version of Gastrodia elata (yellow-red-brown), which is unlikely to
be in the same spot the following year in the same way, although it
is not an annual plant; it is a saprophyte with a symbiotic
relationship with fungi. The height is lower, resulting in fewer
flowers than in the original species, Gastrodia elata. Bloom time:
June-July.
