Platanthera hyperborea, the Northern green orchid,[2] is small orchid found only in Greenland, Iceland, and Akimiski Island in Canada.[1][3] 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.[4][5]
