Habitat: terrestrial in moist, open, acidic bogs, prairies, pine woods, and roadsides
Common name: Orange Fringeless Orchid, Orange Rein Orchid
Blooming: July-September
Comments: this species bears a small, compact head of flowers rarely over 3 inches (7.5 cm) tall. The small golden-yellow, flowers with slightly lacerated lips are packed in tight ranks atop a fluted stem. The leaves start out large close to the ground, rapidly becoming as small as the floral bracts higher up the stem.
