Neotinea maculata.
Orchis intact (ou maculé).
Dense flowered orchid.
Another discreet plant of greenish to beige pastel color with touches of red, purple or brown. It often measures 10/15 cm at most and can reach 30 cm. 2 to 3 leaves at the base and possibly another sheathing one.
The inflorescence is dense with small and rather closed flowers. The flowers appear disordered, which is rather rare in orchids.
A plant from the Mediterranean region, it is only found in the south of France and on the Atlantic coast (including western Brittany).
