Species Details

This hybird marsh-orchid has only been recorded once. It was found by Dr. L.Storer at Grin Plantation (SK054719) in July 1988 and shown shortly afterwards at a meeting he led for The Wild Flower Society. It results from the crossing of Southern and Northern Marsh-orchids (XxD. praetermissa) and (XxD. purpurella).
