Habenaria malacophylla

As requested from a long time friend herewith another Habenaria sp., i.c H. malacophylla. This specie is not likely to feature on the Red List soon: it has a high multiplication rate, prefers cleared forest, is not a stunning beauty, and even its scent is suspect. The scent is not unlike cardamom seeds in a rice dish. And then to conclude on a positive note, the scent range is limited and only in evening hours, when confronted with it, it is self inflicted to a large extent, shape of the flower can function as a ghost emoji? Photos semi in-situ.

 

It can get too much as well. This was the last year we looked after this specie, it now has to continue with a neutral status, and a negative outlook of reduce as it competes too strong with the shorter terrestrials. Maybe drier years can save it from partly uprooting.
