Cranichis ovata   Wickstr.
Caribbean.
Rare terrestrial herb of semi-open and shady spots in lower montane rainforest, especially along forest paths.
Very similar to Cranichis muscosa and is usually found in association with it.
Cranichic ovata is much rarer and less robust and its flowers are smaller and a dirty white colour.
