The Burnt Orchid (Neotinea ustulata) is a European terrestrial orchid, most common in the mountains. It flowers between April and August depending on the altitude.

Neotinea ustulata is now the accepted name. It was previously described as Orchis ustulata (L. 1753).[1]

The Burnt Orchid was voted the County flower of Wiltshire in 2002 following a poll by the wild flora conservation charity Plantlife.[1]

Burnt Orchid's largest population in northwest Europe is on Parsonage Down, in Wiltshire, England.[2][3]
