Neotinea tridentata

Neotinea tridentata -hypochromatic form (Orchidaceae) 141 25

 

Neotinea tridentata - hypochromatic form - is a rare color variant of the three-toothed orchid, characterized by pale pink to white flowers due to reduced pigmentation.

While the typical species has bright pink or purplish tones, the hypochromatic form lacks the usual anthocyanin coloration but retains the same morphological structure.

It usually grows in calcareous grasslands and open woodlands, especially in southern and central Europe, flowering from April to June.
