[Nfld. plants of Platanthera lacera have a lip that is less fringed than those of typical P. lacera and have been treated as var. terrae-novae by Luer (1975). However, he also states that, when comparing Nfld. plants with typical Midwestern plants, they "seem sufficiently distinct to constitute a separate species, were it not for the transitional forms that occur between them."]
