The stout plants grow from extensive rootstocks, often in clumps of stems. They may look quite variously and by no means always violet or purple as their names suggest. More often a general appearance is greenish with olive tint and eventually with some parts having purple-violet tint (Ref.:5). The species is to variable degree dependent on mycorrhizal relation with plants and may therefore contain different amount of chlorophyll. Hence their color may vary from green to completely pink or purple. The species is rare in Slovenia (Ref.:8) and also in most other countries (Ref.:4).Protected according to: Uredba o zavarovanih prostoiveih rastlinskih vrstah, poglavje A, Uradni list RS, t. 46/2004 (Regulation of protected wild plants, chapter A, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46/2004), (2004).Ref.:(1) Personal communication with Mr. Branko Dolinar, www.orhideje.si(2) M.A. Fischer, W.
