Native Orchids of Nevada.
While many plant enthusiasts might not associate the Mojave Desert or the Great Basin floras with orchid diversity, Nevada is still home to over ten native species of orchids. One especially notable Nevada native orchid is the Ash Meadows ladies' tresses orchid, Spiranthes infernalis. This orchid was first discovered in Ash Meadows, and is a Nevada endemic species known from only two localities. Join California Botanic Garden researcher Allison Autry for an introduction to Nevada native orchids, an overview of the research being done on Spiranthes infernalis, and an explanation of why orchids like this one are so rare and threatened.
