Characteristics:
Habitus: growth height approx. 15-30 cm, striking plant due to the
 light-colored inflorescence, which sometimes becomes quite strong,
 but is rather dainty in specimens with few flowers;
at the base of the stem with 3 - 7 narrow, lanceolate, dark green and 
heavily spotted leaves, which mostly lie flat on the ground and are arranged in a rosette, 2 - 3 more leaves follow upwards, enveloping the stem
Inflorescence lax, with 5 - 20 flowers, bracts membranous pale light green,
 about as long as the ovary.
Flowers pale light yellow, slightly lighter than Orchis pallens
Sepala: Lateral 9 - 14 mm long and 4 - 6 mm wide, ovoid, steeply erect
 and protruding backwards, occasionally slightly wavy at the edge, 
the middle one inclined over the petals and columns
Petala same coloring as Sepala, distinctly smaller than Sepala and tilted 
forward protectively as a helmet over the gynostemium
Lip: 8 - 13 mm long, faintly three-lobed with a bifurcated middle lobe, 
curved "sheep-nose-shaped" when viewed from the side, spread wider than long, light yellow in the basic colour, but slightly more intensely yellow in color than the other petals, from the base of the lip to the center of the lip with marked with brown-red dots, which are larger and more conspicuous than in Orchis pauciflora; Lateral flaps knocked down.
Spur curved upwards, up to 20 mm long, about as long as the ovary,
occasionally somewhat thickened at the end, otherwise blunt-ended.
Scar cavity relatively large, somewhat taller than wide, without red tones,
 pollinaria yellow, becoming darker as the anthesis progresses.
