Goodyera repens [Lesser Rattlesnake Orchid]
These three pictures show three different and distinct Goodyera species. Concentrating on the inside of the flower and showing the columns [anther caps and pollinia]. Far left Goodyera tesselata. Middle, Goodyera repens. Right, Goodyera pubescens. Notice difference in the lips of each species, the G. repens has a longer more narrow lip than either G. tesselata or G. pubescens. Also notice the pinkish hue of the G. tesselata's flowers that is absent from both G. repens and G. pubescens. This is something that I have observed in G. tesselata in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire in both their flowers and their inflorescence [buds].
