Eulophia parviflora

[Mike O'C]

This is one of the spring (September) flowering Eulophias found in the veld (grassland) on the hill behing my home. It is a small growing plant (about 15cm) and the flowers have a peppery scent. I do not know if it is in cultivation.

Sorry folks! ! I put the wrong caption to the photo. The photo is in fact Eulophia parviflora which is a taller growing plant. There is confusion about the species as there are those of us who feel that the taxonomists have lumped two very different species into Eulophioa parviflora. this is what we amateurs regard as the true parviflora where all the flowers look upwards along the rechis.
