Gymnadenia Chusua Var. Nana

Gymnadenia chusua var. nana is a unique and lesser-known plant species that thrives in specific alpine and subalpine habitats. Known for its compact growth and delicate white flowers, it is often mistaken for other orchid species due to its similar appearance. This variant of Gymnadenia chusua is particularly adapted to cold climates and nutrient-poor soils. Despite its beauty, it remains underappreciated and poorly documented in botanical studies. Understanding this plant is essential for conservation efforts in its fragile ecosystems.
