Dear Friends,

I had seen this small terrestrial Orchid ( around 30 to 40cm high) with elliptical leaves on the ground. Flowers were very small, greenish yellow in colour placed in a slender spike.

Bot. name:  Malaxis muscifera
Family: Orchidaceae.

Date/Time: 08-08-2012 / 08:40AM
Habitat: Wild
Plant habit: Herb
Location: VOF.

Regards
Prashant
