| Abstract |
The Swamp Greenhood Orchid is tiny and quite hard to spot. A single translucent white flower with green stripes sits on top of a fine green stem. Several pointy leaves hug the stem, which can grow up to 30 cm tall but is usually much shorter. Flowers are up to 20mm long and appear at any time of year but most commonly in summer. Plants have either basal leaves or flowering stems. Glossy dark green, almost round, leaves up to 20 mm long form the basal rosettes of non-flowering plants. |
