Orchidaceae: Spiranthes
SPiranthes usually require the flowers for ID. Do you mean that the
flower has green veins and spots?

Can anyone identify this species:
growing in south Louisiana pine savannah, clay soil, full sun, very
wet. Individuals are 23" to 91/2" tall. Flower spike is 4 2/3". Three
basil leaves 6 1/2" long 1/4" wide and rolled/folded together. Upper
leaf develops from stem 3 1/2" from base. Fatish, fleshy pale root.
Similar to "sylvaticus," with green, but less vein and more defined
green spots.
thank you, Judy Darby
