This dull little orchid was the least interesting of the dozen orchids we found in Northern Cyprus and on the particular walk we took in the hills we found some very impressive ones. This was growing in shade in woodland close to the Cyprus version of the Stawberry Tree (which I forgot to photograph).

It does grow in the U.K but only in a few sites on the Burren in County Clare in the Irish Republic.
