Dactylorhiza purpurella (Northern Marsh Orchid)

Netherfield Lagoons LNR, Nottinghamshire

At the south-eastern limit of distribution, so of interest although a poor specimen. Distinguished from D. praetermissa with certainty by the narrower labellum (never broader than 9mm).

The hybrid with D. praetermissa has been recorded in the north of the county.
