Gymnadenia minor is a species of orchid endemic to Austria.
It looks similar to Gymnadenia miniata but both the entire plants and the individual flowers are smaller and the inflorescence is shorter, sometimes wider than tall.
Flowers are uniformly colored red (except the bottom-most ones are sometimes brighter), their color shade is slightly brighter than that of Gymnadenia miniata.
[2][3] Gymandenia minor is only known from the slopes of the Trenchtling in the Hochschwab mountain range.
[4] The likely origin of the species is a local mutation after a single seed of Gymnadenia miniata germinated at the site of the only known population.
