  1. rattlesnake plantain

    Rattlesnake plantain is a term that can refer to several species of orchids, belonging to the genus Goodyera. These plants are characterized by their basal rosettes of green leaves, often marked with white or silver veins, and tall spikes of small white flowers. They are usually found in woodland and forest habitats. They are commonly referred to as "rattlesnake plantains" due to the pattern on the leaves, which some people believe resembles the skin of a rattlesnake. The term "plantain" in this case does not relate to the fruit but refers to an old name for plants with broad, flat leaves.
