 from Ural Siberia through northern Europe and mountains to Switzer- 

 land, England, Iceland, and Greenland. Probably in Arctic America. 

 I have been unable to discover a single authentic specimen of Habenaria 

 albida from our range. If it occurs on the North American mainland it 

 must be extremely rare and local. The labellum is variously trifid or 

 3-lobed, the middle lobe being longer and larger than the lateral ones.
