Epipactis - the helleborines

A number of members of the genus Epipactis are native to the UK including the Marsh Helleborine, Epipactis palustris, and the Broad-leaved Helleborine, Epipactis helleborine.

Both of these plants are worthy of cultivation as is their American cousin, Epipactis gigantea.
