Field Notes

Description:

Former Listera, now Neottia ovata.
We saw this one growing under a wooded path going through the woods of Plitvice. The flowering stems are typically 20–60 cm. the number of flowers varies from 15 to a bit less than 100. The flowers are small and yellowish-green in colour. The sepals and the two side petals form a fairly open hood; the labellum or lip is long and divided at the end into two lobes.

Habitat:

Plitvice Lakes (Plitvicka-Jezera National Park), Croatia (end of May, 2016).
