[Two populations of Dactylorhiza praetermissa are known from Nfld. Both populations represent separate unintentional introductions that have successfully naturalized (Clase and Meades 1996). The St. John's population appears to be the same variety as the Timmins, ON, plant (D. praetermissa var. junialis) (R. Bateman, pers. comm., 2000).  Both varieties (var. junialis and var. praetermissa) belong to subsp. praetermissa, but plants from the St. John's population can be identified by their spotted leaves.  Identification was provided by Dr. R. Bateman, Natural History Museum, London, UK, based on material provided from the source populations in St. John's, NL and Timmins, ON.  The St. John's population is reported to be spreading in the neAvalon Peninsula, e.g., Kenny's Pond, St. John's, and Torbay, based on reports from the general public. Seed from capsules of cultivated plants of var. junialis have been artificially dispersed in the Pasadena area, resulting in several local naturalized populations in wNfld. (H. Mann, pers. comm. 2015).]
