''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.
