the tubers of Dactylorhiza are very compact infact they look very much like Oberonia leaves with 5 lobes and constricted base, the apex of the lobes are pointed. Your tubers were very distant from each other. Thats why I said. But yes, from the pic and that two from dried specimen I MAY BE WRONG....but my intuition says its not what you think it is. Can you please send me a good pic on my mail separately. I wont misuse it!! Regards Pankaj
