Plant materials of Orchis spitzelii were collected from 17 different population, between 20102013 in Turkey. Orchis spitzelii samples were analyzed for 19 morphological, 20 anatomical and 18 soil characters and habitat properties. As a result, the minimum length of plantwas 200 mm and maximum 500 mm, minimum length of underground part was 25 mm and maximum 94 mm. Number of leaves varied between 3-9. According to habitat definition, Orchis spitzelii grew up to 500 m to 2100 m. Also, Pinus nigra Re-revised received.forests and glades were most common habitat of Orchis spitzelii, found generally over calcareous soils.EnglishDemographyEcosystemEuropeOrchidaceaePlant LeavesPlant RootsPlant StemsSpecies SpecificityTurkeyTurkeyOrchis spitzeliiPinus nigraanatomybiogeographical regionhabitat availabilityleafmorphologyplant communitypopulation structuresoil typespecies diversityanatomy and histologycytologydemographyecosystemEuropeOrchidaceaephysiologyplant leafplant rootplant stemspecies differenceTurkeyArticle
