Dactylorhiza viridis (L.) R. M. Bateman, Pridgeon & M. W. Chase[HC2]
frog orchid, long-bracted green orchid
Publication: Lindleyana 12(3): 129. 1997.
Origin: Native
selected vouchers: WTU
Notes: From Devos et al.,: Our results, which combine sequences of the internal and external transcribed spacers of the nuclear ribosomal DNA, support the monophyly of Dactylorhiza, with Coeloglossum being a sister clade. The position of C. viride in the phylogenetic tree, and the considerable morphological differences with respect to Dactylorhiza, incline us to retain both lineages as distinct genera.
