Listera australis

[kentuckiense]

They don't get much smaller than this here in North America.

I'll try to get a closeup sometime soon.

WOW what a big key oke:
thanks for sharing it!

 

[NYEric]

Nice.

Zac, the key is a great idea. There's a species here in Japan that is perhaps a tad bit smaller, L. makinoana, if you can imagine!

 

[SlipperFan]

So small and fragile, it's amazing it doesn't get trampled.

Good eyes finding that one. Can't wait for the closeup.

 

[kentuckiense]

As promised:
