See text. Fragrant Orchid ( Gymnadenia conopsea) is a Flower that has a scent similar to Cloves. Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Liliopsida is a Botanical name for the class containing the family Liliaceae (or Lily Family Asparagales is an order of Flowering plants The order must include the family Asparagaceae, but other families included in the order have varied markedly The Orchidoideae, or the orchidoid orchids are a subfamily of the orchid family ( Orchidaceae) Robert Brown FRS ( 21 December, 1773 &ndash 10 June, 1858) was a Scottish scientist who is acknowledged as the leading botanist In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank.

Gymnadenia is a genus in the orchid family (Orchidaceae) containing 22 terrestrial species. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic A terrestrial plant is one that grows on land Other types of plants are aquatic (living in water Epiphytic (living on trees but not Parasitic) In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank.

They can be found in damp meadows, fens and marshes, and on chalk or limestone, often in alpine regions of Europe and Asia up to the Himalayas. A meadow is a field vegetated primarily by Grass and other non- Woody plants. A fen is a type of Wetland fed by surface and/or groundwater Fens are characterized by their water chemistry which is neutral or Alkaline Fens are different In Geography, a marsh, or morass, is a type of Wetland which is subject The Fragrant Orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea) has been introduced into the USA. Fragrant Orchid ( Gymnadenia conopsea) is a Flower that has a scent similar to Cloves. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the

These hardy terrestrial orchids are deciduous. Botany Autumn leaf color. See --> In Botany and Horticulture, deciduous Plants, including They survive the winter through their corms, two deep-cut tubers (more like tuberous roots). A corm is a short vertical swollen underground Plant stem that serves as a Storage organ used by some plants to survive winter or other adverse conditions A tuberous root is a modified lateral Root, enlarged to function as a Storage organ. Long lanceolate green leaves grow at the bottom of the stem. Green is a Color, the perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a Wavelength of roughly 520–570- nm. In Botany, a leaf is an above-ground Plant organ specialized for Photosynthesis. A stem is one of two main structural axes of a Vascular plant. There are some small leaves at the stop of the stem.

They flower during the summer. A flower, also known as a bloom or Blossom, is the reproductive structure found in Flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also Summer is one of the four Temperate Seasons Summer marks the warmest time of year with the longest days The inflorescence is a dense cylindrical spike between 5 and 30 cm long. An inflorescence is a group or cluster of Flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main Branch or a complicated arrangement of branches It can consists of up to 150 small pleasant-smelling flowers. A flower, also known as a bloom or Blossom, is the reproductive structure found in Flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also Their color can vary from pale purple to pink and white. White is a Color, the perception which is evoked by Light that stimulates all three types of color sensitive Cone cells in the Human eye The lip is wide with three lobes. The labellum (or Lip) is part of an Orchid, Canna or other less known flower that serves to attract Insects that Pollinate the flower The marginal petals are horizontal. A petal (from Ancient Greek petalon "leaf" "thin plate" regarded as a highly modified leaf is one member or part of the corolla There is a long, thin, threadlike spur.

Several species were formerly classified under Nigritella. In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. The nothogeneric name ×Gymnigritella was used for hybrids between these two groups. In Botanical nomenclature, a hybrid may be given a hybrid name, which is a special kind of Botanical name. In Biology, hybrid has two meanings The first meaning is the result of interbreeding between two animals or plants of different taxa.
