Distribution en:
Description en: Genus of 24 species of rhizomatous, terrestrial, herbaceous orchids, mainly found in temperate areas of the N. hemisphere, often occurring in marshes, alpine meadows, rich woodland, or on dunes; a few are tropical species from Africa, Thailand, and Mexico. They usually have ribbed, lance-shaped to ovate leaves, arranged spirally or in 2 ranks. The spurless flowers are borne in loose or dense spikes on twisted stalks. The upper segments of each flower spread or curve inwards to form a "helmet", and the 2-parted lower lip unites at the base to form a "cup", with a heart-shaped or triangular lobe beneath. Grow in a damp, shady border, or in a wild or woodland garden.
