''Habenaria'' species have small to large underground [[root]] [[tuber]]s and erect stems 20 to 80 cm in length. Leaves are [[lanceolate]] or [[ovate]], and are borne either along the stem (cauline) or only at the base (basal). When basal, leaves lie flat on the ground. Flowers are mostly green, white, yellow and green, or white and green, but a few exceptions have brilliant red flowers. The plant is a perennial [[deciduous]], with the entire above-ground part of the plant dying back each year.

'''''Habenaria''''', commonly called '''bog orchids''', are a far ranging [[genus]] of [[orchid]], one of approximately 800 described [[List of Orchidaceae genera|Orchidaceae genera]] within that large and diverse family.  There are species in both [[tropical]] and [[temperate]] zones.

==Description==
  −
''Habenaria'' species have small to large underground [[root]] [[tuber]]s and erect stems 20 to 80&nbsp;cm in length. Leaves are [[leaf shape|lanceolate or ovate]], and are borne either along the stem (cauline) or only at the base (basal). When basal, leaves lie flat on the ground. Flowers are mostly green, white, yellow and green, or white and green, but a few exceptions have brilliant red flowers<!--an example would be appropriate here-->.  The column is frequently complicated, with long organs sticking out of it ([[stigma]] processes, lateral rostellum arms, [[anther]] canals)<!--This wholesentence is far too jargonistic!-->. The plant is a perennial [[deciduous]], with the entire above-ground part of the plant dying back each year.
