Comment: Cephalanthera longifolia is a beautiful and stately orchid sometimes growing up to 60 cm tall. It is a quite common species in mountain regions of Slovenia. Because of its snow-white flowers, which are very conspicuous in shady forests it cannot be overlooked. Apart of not too dark forests it can be found also on their edges and also on open grassy places, where it develops long inflorescence sometimes having more than 20 flowers. Contrary, in shade of woods the plants may have only 4 or 5 flowers. Interestingly, the flowers remain half-closed and almost never open fully. Nevertheless, where the plant grows in large numbers, it displays wonderful vistas. Cephalanthera longifolia is widely distributed Eurasian floral element, which extends from Sweden down to Mediterranean regions including North Africa.Protected according to: Uredba o zavarovanih prostoiveih rastlinskih vrstah, poglavje A, Uradni list RS, t. 46/2004 (Regulation of protected wild plants, chapter A, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46/2004), (2004).Pravilnik o uvrstitvi ogroenih rastlinskih in ivalskih vrst v rdei seznam, Uradni list RS, t. 82/2002 (Regulation of enlisting of endangered plant and animal species onto Red List, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 82/2002) (2002).
