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 plant was 200 mm and maximum 500 mm, minimum length of underground part was 25 mm and maximum 94 mm. Number of leaves varied betvveen 3-9. According to habitat definition, Orchis spitzelii grew up to 500 m to 2100 m.
