Nectary a distinctly mouth- or funnel-shaped structure at the transition between claw and blade, its margin often irregular, emarginate or with a frontal slit, rarely forming an incomplete ring open at the back. Filaments (5-)7-13 mm long, slightly thickened below or at about the middle, 0.2-0.5(-0.7) mm thick, the basal 1/3-1/4 whitish or light-coloured, otherwise purplish.

The most characteristic feature is the funnel-shaped nectary, Some variation in the shape of the nectary is also observed in other regions. The nectary opening may be somewhat elongated and its margin may be irregularly incised, sometimes with a deep adaxial slit. In general appearance the species most closely resembles O. vulgare, though the morphology of the nectary region of the latter is very different. From: Nordenstam, RB. 1982.
