The Bird's-nest Orchid, Neottia nidus-avis, is a non-photosynthetic orchid found in shady woodland on basic soils. It is a myco-heterotroph. It obtains its nutrients from a mycorrhizal fungus that is attached to a photosynthetic host plant. Since it prefers high pH soils, it can be found on some limestone barrens such as Halltorps Nature Reserve and the Stora Alvaret on Oland, Sweden.
