PERUVIAN ORCHIDS

ORCHIDS FROM THE "LAS PIEDRAS" RIVER


Introduction

The pictures shown here, belong to a Habenaria plant found growing in the water near the shore amid gras in an oxbow lake in a very remote part of the " Las Piedras" river at an altitude of 400 meters. The flowers are large about 6cm. in width and the spur is long and slender 13cm. in length

I would like to hear any comments from anyone that might have an idea what species it is. It has been now identified as Habenaria sartor.
