Platanthera x andrewsii - a hybrid Platanthera

Although it is not always the case, morphological evidence of both parents can be seen in this hybrid Platanthera. The purple coloration, pigmentation in the pollinia, dumb-bell shaped opening, and reflexed position of the dorsal (top) sepal and lateral (side) petals are all contributed by Platanthera psycodes. The fringing on the lip and reduction in purple pigmentation are thanks to Platanthera lacera. All in all, both parents' contributions make for a beautiful child.
