Platanthera hyperborea
Also called Northern Bog Orchid, Leafy Northern Green Orchid, Northern Green Bog Orchid
Platanthera hyperborea, the northern green orchid, is small orchid found only in Greenland, Iceland, and Akimiski Island in Canada. Numerous authors cite the species as widespread in other parts of Canada and also in the United States; such populations are more correctly referred to as Platanthera aquilonis.
