The Pyramidal Orchid

"Anacamptis pyramidalis" is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus "Anacamptis" of the family Orchidaceae. The scientific name "Anacamptis" derives from Greek ανακάμτειν 'anakamptein' meaning 'bend forward', while the Latin name "pyramidalis" refers to the pyramidal form of the inflorescence.
