This map is based on our research. We have checked its accuracy to Level 3 ecoregions. Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.

↑Notes

We recommend against the common names including "Piperia" because this species has been reclassified out of the Piperia genus and back into Platanthera; in general, common names that reference scientific genera can be problematic because they can be confusing in cases like this where the taxonomy changes.
