context_page_description: Dactylorhiza is a genus of flowering plants in the orchid family Orchidaceae. Its species are commonly called marsh orchids or spotted orchids, Dactylorhiza were previously classified under Orchis which has two round tubers.
context_section_description: Many species in this genus hybridise so readily that species boundaries themselves are vague (but see), with regular name changes and no clear answers.  A few species colonise very well onto fresh industrial wastes such as pulverised fuel ash, where vast hybrid swarms can appear for a decade or more, before ecological succession replaces them.
