The Lesser Twayblade

''Neottia cordata'', lesser twayblade or heartleaf twayblade is an orchid of upland bogs and mires that rarely exceeds 15 cm in height. It is never very common but may be frequently overlooked because of its small size and a tendency to grow underneath heather on sphagnum moss.
