musk orchid
LB: Eenzelknoll-Hunnegorchidee
FR: orchis musc
DE: Einknollige Honigorchis
The musk orchid owes its name to the single tuber it has as a storage organ. The tuber is formed after flowering at the tip of underground stolons and not next to the old tuber as in the species of the genus Orchis. Like many other orchids of the nutrient-poor wet meadows, the musk orchid has been extinct in Luxembourg for a long time.
