Platanthera aquilonis
Also called Sheviak's Bog Orchid, Eagle Rein Orchid, Green Flowered Bog Orchid, North Wind Bog Orchid, Northern Green Bog Orchid, Tall Northern Green Orchid, Leafy Northern Green Orchid
Platanthera aquilonis, the northern green orchid or north wind bog orchid, is a species of self-fertilizing orchid native to the United States and Canada with a widespread distribution across the two countries.
Platanthera aquilonis occurs throughout much of Canada and the northern United States. But the southern extent of this species range follows the Rocky Mountains all the way into Northern New Mexico. This species can be found in a very large range of habitats including meadows, marshes, fens, the tundra, along stream banks and roadsides, as well as in wet deciduous forests. This plant can be commonly found at elevations between 0–2500 meters but has been found at elevations up to 3400 meters.
