The difference between single flower orchid and single leaf orchid

1. Different varieties

Orchidaceae is a relatively rare plant, and its pseudobulb can be used as medicine. It is a plant belonging to the subfamily Orchidaceae and the genus Orchidaceae, and its characteristics are quite obvious.

Aspidistra is more common. It belongs to the Liliaceae family and the Aspidistra genus. It is quite different from the former and is essentially not the same plant.

2. Different leaves

The leaves of the single-flowered orchid are broadly ovate or broadly elliptical, about 7-11 cm long and about 4.5-8 cm wide. The overall color is green, but it has a purple-red tint underneath.

The leaves of Aspidistra are narrow and long, oblong-lanceolate in shape, about 22-46 cm long and 8-11 cm wide. The leaves are generally green on both sides, but sometimes have yellow-white spots or stripes, and the petiole part is also thicker than the former.

3. Different flowers

The former has a solitary flower at the top, and the entire petal is obovate-spoon-shaped, like a flying butterfly. Its color is usually lavender, but it can sometimes be white.

The flowers of the latter are less obvious and grow on the rhizomes below the leaves. The color of the flowers is also purple, but the color is darker, especially the bottom which is dark purple.
