This is one greenhood that is not just green. The Galea and lateral Sepals are greenish below, becoming a deep reddish-brown towards the tip. There are 3 to 6 leaves in a rosette appressed to the ground. They are Ovate, blunt, 60mm long, dark green with wavy margins. The stem has several small stem-clasping Cauline leaves. The Dorsal Sepal and lateral Petals combine to form the Galea, 20mm long, which is upright, bulbous at the base, then turned sharply forward to a short horizontal point. The lateral Sepals are joined for half their length, then diverge at a narrow angle to form slender points on either side of the Galea. The Labellum is Ovate 5 mm long, just visible through the angle between the lateral Sepals. |
