Dear It is very interesting to note that several species of Spiranthes orchids, including Spiranthes odorata (commonly known as Marsh Ladies' Tresses), are adapted to grow in wetland habitats. These orchids thrive in bogs, marshes, swamps, and wet meadows, where their roots may be submerged in water for extended periods.
Another notable example is Spiranthes delitescens, also known as the Canelo Hills Ladies' Tresses, which grows in marshy areas (cienegas) with slow-moving water. Both of these species are adapted to moist, marsh-like environments, making them suitable for growth in submerged conditions. I don't know if any of these species are found in India and are endemic to North America. Considering these are the only known aquatic orchid species in the world!
