This is a woodland plant or to be more specific a plant of deep shade. Photographs are not easy since there is never enough light. It is such a weird looking plant that it is one of the few you really can't confuse with anything else. It grows mostly in long established undisturbed woodland. I was shown this plant on my first WFS expedition in 1987 growing behind a big rock by the main path. This is exactly the same spot some 17 years later.
