Downy rattlesnake plantains are one of the many species of orchids native to eastern North America. They can be found growing in dry to moist upland woods with acidic soils. The plants are low growing with stems that creep along the soil surface, often dividing and forming small colonies. Leaves lay close to the soil in circular arrangement (basal rosette) around a central growing point. Leaves are oval and about 1.5 to 2.5 inches long.
Downy rattlesnake plantain has striking leaves marked with a network of silvery veins and a broad stripe down the center, resembling the skin of a snake. All parts of the plant are covered with a very fine downy hair especially noticeable on the bloom spike. Despite the name, downy rattlesnake plantain is not related to the common lawn weed plantains, but has similar appearing rosettes of leaves. The evergreen foliage is attractive year round, with individual leaves lasting 3 to 4 years. It flowers in late summer with small white flowers densely packed on
a slender cylindrical spike, 6 to 18 inches tall.
