Different varieties: Solitary-flowered orchids are relatively rare, belonging to the subfamily Orchidinae and the genus Solitary-flowered orchids; one-leaf orchids are more common, belonging to the Liliaceae and genus Arachnidae. The leaves are different: the leaves of the former are wide and oval in shape, and are overall green with purple-red; the leaves of the latter are narrow and long, green on both sides, and sometimes have yellow and white spots or stripes. The flowers are different: the former flowers are solitary on the top and are lavender in color; the latter are on the rhizomes below the leaves and are darker in color.

The leaves of Solitary Flower Orchid are broadly oval or broadly oval, with a length of about 7-11 cm and a width of about 4.5-8 cm. The overall color is green, but there is a purple-red underside.

One-leaf orchid The leaves are narrow and long, oblong-lanceolate, about 22-46 cm in length and 8-11 cm in width. The leaves are generally green on both sides, but sometimes have yellow-white spots or stripes, and the petiole is thicker than the former.

3. Flowers Different

The flowers of the former are solitary at the top, and the entire petals are obovate and spoon-shaped, like a flying butterfly. Its color is usually lavender, but sometimes it is white.

The flowers of the latter are less obvious and grow on the rhizomes below the leaves. The color of the flowers is also purple, but the color is darker, especially the color at the bottom is dark purple.
