This is near L. plicata and L. 

 Ucliiyamas, but distinguishable from them 

 by the longer and more slender column of the flowers. The columns of the 

 other species are very much shorter. Also very near Liparis viridiflora L., 

 but differs from it in having larger flowers and in the lips with obscure 

 lobes.
