Nervilia fordii is a small orchid that grows on the ground, mostly in shady and damp places in forests and rainforest margins. It belongs to the genus nervilia fordii, which took its name from its prominent leaf veins (from the Latin nervus, meaning nerve).
Nervilia petraea is a terrestrial orchid that flourishes in shady forest floors. It's characterized by a singular, heart-shaped leaf that emerges after its solitary, vibrant flower has bloomed. This leaf is adept at capturing limited sunlight in its dense habitat, securing nervilia petraea’s survival amidst the competitive undergrowth.
Nervilia platychila is a terrestrial orchid with a notable single, broad, heart-shaped leaf that emerges after its bloom. Its flowers are typically greenish and modest, often overshadowed by the sizable leaf. Thriving in forest undergrowth, nervilia platychila relies on the shady dampness of its environment for growth, indicative of its adaptation to lower light and moisture-rich habitats.
