Gymandenia lithopolitanica, the Austrian gymnadenia, is a species of orchid endemic to a portion of the eastern Alps spanning Austria and Slovenia.[1]
Gymandenia lithopolitanica have a short and dense inflorescence in a spherical or dome to slightly oval shape. The flower color is from an intense pink to pink to slightly purplish pink and very light pink. Lowermost flowers get lighter and are almost white when the plant is in full bloom. The color of the buds is darker than that of the flowers. They bloom from June to mid July.[2]
