Field Notes

Description:

mycoheterotrophic, terrestrial orchid

Habitat:

montane rainforest, 1300m

Notes:

I spotted this in Gunung Halimun national park. At first I thought it was some type of parasite, but after looking at it more, I thought it may be an orchid and that led me to Epipogium species.
