„It is usually rare but can sometimes be found in great numbers in suitable habitats. This orchid grows in dry meadows, rocky areas, and open woods. It may reach a height of 133 centimetres (52 in).“ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himantoglossum_hircinum

Headspace analysis showed that the flower scent (reminding of goat, hot iron, linnen) is mainly attributable to the combination of (E)-3-methyl-4-decenoic acid (24.0%), (Z)-4-decenoic acid (34.0%) and lauric acid (12.0%), accompanied by (E)-ocimene (12.0%) and traces of p-cresol, eugenol and vanillin.
