Cypripedium yatabeanum explained

Cypripedium yatabeanum, known as the spotted lady slipper[1] or palomino lady's slipper, is a species of terrestrial orchid. It is native to Alaska (including the Aleutian Islands), to the Russian Far East (Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands), and northern Japan.[2] [3]

It is distinguished from the closely related Cypripedium guttatum by its yellow-green flowers and narrower, longer lip.[4] It is a perennial herb that grows up to 2feet tall.[5] Its habitats include mesic tundra, marsh borders, and beach dune lag.
