Zeuxine strateumatica, common names lawn orchid or soldier orchid, is a species of terrestrial orchids. It is widespread across much of Asia, including China , Japan , Turkey, Uzbekistan, Iran, the Indian Subcontinent, Afghanistan, and Southeast Asia, as well as in New Guinea and in some of the islands of the Pacific.[1] It is naturalized in Saudi Arabia, Brazil , Tamaulipas (in northeastern Mexico), West Indies, Hawaii, California , and the southeastern United States from Texas to Georgia.[2][3][4][5][6]
Zeuxine strateumatica is a perennial herb up to 25 cm tall. Leaves are linear or narrowly lanceolate, up to 9 cm long. Flowers are borne in an erect panicle of as many as 50 flowers, each white with a yellow lip.[3]
In its natural habitat in Asia, Zeuxine strateumatica grows in grasslands, and along streambanks.[1] In places where it is introduced, it frequently grows in lawns and agricultural fields, and is thus considered a nuisance weed.[3]
