Question
Hi. I was wondering if you could help me identify this plant. It was found in a Northern Cedar bog in Maine.
Answer
Dear cmshannon, good morning. The plant you photographed is Platanthera clavellata (little club-spur bog-orchid), a relatively common member of this genus found in a variety of wetland settings, including northern white cedar swamps. The three small teeth at the tip of the labellum help identify this orchid. Best wishes.
