Common Name The Fimbriate Lobed Habenaria

Flower Size

Found in Jiangxi province of China in forests along valleys at elevations of 500 to 1050 meters as a large sized, warm to cool growing terrestrial with 5 to 6 cauline, linear-lanceolate, acute, getting smaller above, the uppermost 2 bract-like leaves taht blooms in the later summer on an erect, 2.4 to 4.4" [6 to 11 cm] long, laxly to subdensely several to many flowered inflorescence with lanceolate, acute, shorter than the ovary floral bracts and carrying white flowers

"The new species somewhat resembles the Japanese H. sagittifera, but in the new species the lower lobe of the petals is uncinate, and the lateral lobes of the lip are not fimbriate. It is worthwhile mentioning that Kraenzlin (1892, 1897) in his treatment of Habenaria cited H. saggitifera Rchb. f., but the characteristics of this species provided by Kraenzlin were those of H. linearifolia. In this treatment, Kraenzlin described a new species, H. oldhamii Kraenzlin (1892: 205), which is probably conspecific with H. saggitifera Rchb. f., which is characterized by the entire lateral lobes of the lip and triangular and ovate-lunate petals (Schlechter 1919)."
