'''''Cephalanthera''''' is a genus of, mostly, terrestrial [[orchid]]s. Members of this genus have [[rhizome]]s rather than [[tuber]]s{{wp}}.
'''''Cephalanthera''''' is a genus of, mostly, terrestrial [[orchid]]s. Members of this genus have [[rhizome]]s rather than [[tuber]]s. About 15 species are currently recognised, several of them common in [[Europe]], for example the [[Sword-leaved Helleborine]] ''C. longifolia''. Most others are native to [[Asia]], ranging from the [[Caucasus]], e.g. ''C. caucasica'', to [[Japan]], e.g. the [[Bamboo-leaved Silver Orchid]] ''C. longibracteata''. The [[China|Chinese]] species ''C. gracilis'' was only described in [[2002]]. The only species found in [[North America]] is the [[Phantom Orchid]] or Snow Orchid ''C. austiniae''. Ecologically, this species is partially [[myco-heterotrophic]]. Some of the Eurasian species [[hybrid]]ise.
{{Inc|

American, and others are European. Sepals 3; petals small, ovate; lip saccate: lvs. (sometimes wanting) lanceolate or oblong: fls. mostly small (sometimes showy), in an open spike.
