Neottia convallarioides
Also called Broad Leaved Twayblade, Broad Lip Twayblade, Broad Lipped Twayblade, Broadleaf Twayblade, Broadlipped Listera
Neottia convallarioides is a species of orchid known by the common names broad-lipped twayblade and broad-leaved twayblade. It was formerly placed in the genus Listera, but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that Neottia nidus-avis, the bird's-nest orchid, evolved within the same group, and all species of Listera have been moved to Neottia.
Neottia convallarioides can be found in moist habitats such as woods, forests, swamps, and streambanks. It is native to much of Canada and in parts of the United States (Alaska, the Great Lakes Region, New England, and the mountains of the West: Rockies, Cascades, Sierra Nevada, etc.). It also reportedly occurs in Saint Pierre and Miquelon and on the Komandor Islands in the Bering Sea, part of the Russian Far East.
