| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A fascinating account of one of our most interesting wildflowers. No other native plant demonstrates so many principles of botany: both vegetative and sexual reproduction, several easily-visible polymorphisms, mycorrhiza, overwintering energy storage and a complicated and specialised insect pollination mechanism that truly ranks among the wonders of the botanical world. |
