Ponthieva racemosa
Properly named shadow-witch because it seems to resemble a flying witch that looks like she's screaming. This particular orchid was found in an area where they are not normally known to reside. It is terrestrial and can grow anywhere between 8-60cm tall.
Found among damp-wet, shady woods and swamps.
