The plant grows up to about half a meter tall with several elongated leaves clasping the flowering stem. Usually only a single flower is produced on each stem, though occasionally 2 or 3 flowers are seen. The green and white colouring of the flowers changes to include red and brown tones as the flower ages. Jug orchids are found throughout the SW of WA from Geraldton to Israelite Bay, although they are most common in the wetter forest areas. The species name "recurva" means "bent" referring to the tips of the lateral sepals.<br /> Family: Orchidaceae &nbsp; Genus: Pterostylis &nbsp; Species: recurva &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Other<br />Member - John and ValFri, 18 Jul 2014 08:18:00 GMTKarri Snail orchidhttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/753+karri-snail-orchidhttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/753+karri-snail-orchid<a href="https://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/753+karri-snail-orchid"><img src="https://cdn.exploroz.com/images/GalleryTag_W753__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> Tuberous, perennial, herb, 0.08-0.29 m high.
