EspañolNEOTTIA NIDUS-AVIS
(Redirected from Bird\'s Nest Orchid)
The 'Bird's-nest Orchid', '''Neottia nidus-avis''', is a non-photosynthetic orchid found in shady woodland on basic soils. It is a myco-heterotroph. It obtains its nutrients from a mycorrhizal fungus that is attached to a photosynthetic host plant. Since it prefers high pH soils, it can be found on some limestone barrens such as Halltorps Nature Reserve and the Stora Alvaret on Oland, Sweden.
