Habenaria falcicornis subsp. caffra flowers

The inflorescence of Habenaria falcicornis subsp. caffra comprises many flowers growing in a lax raceme.

The flowers are green and white, in picture appearing spider-like. The green occurs on the bract and pedicel, the ovary, usually only the upper parts of the sepals, as well as on the stigma. The lateral petals are two-lobed, the upper lobes pointing upwards, the larger lower ones spreading to the sides. The lip below is three-lobed, the lobes narrowly oblong, white at their bases, green at their tips.

The flowers are fragrant. Flowering happens from late spring to early autumn (Liltved and Johnson, 2012; Pooley, 1998).
