Neottia ovata
Former Listera, now Neottia ovata. We saw this one growing under a wooded path going through the woods of Plitvice. The flowering stems are typically 20–60 cm. the number of flowers varies from 15 to a bit less than 100. The flowers are small and yellowish-green in colour. The sepals and the two side petals form a fairly open hood; the labellum or lip is long and divided at the end into two lobes.
