Image:Epipactis purpurata herbarium specimen from Luton, VC30 Bedfordshire in 1913 by Miss Dorcas Martha Higgins.
fruits/flowers:mature flowers
notes:Helleborine [latifolia Druce, var. media Marshll]...My specimen is badly dried. It looks much more like violacea than media, but with such material it is guess work-C.E.Salmon. I think that this is H. violacea Druce.-E.S.Marshall.

Inferred details are marked.
