Description
[edit | edit source]Calanthe odora is a species of orchid known for its unique characteristics. It typically reaches a height ranging from 25 to 50 cm. During its flowering phase, the orchid's foliage is not as developed, showcasing two or three leaves with pointed tips. The flower stalk emerges from the leafless radicle of the previous year, giving rise to delicate white flowers measuring approximately 1 to 1.4 cm in length. This particular orchid species thrives at altitudes between 700 and 1300 m above sea level.[3][4]
