Small Whorled Pogonia (Isotria medeoloides)
Small Whorled PogoniaSmall Whorled Pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) is one of the most imperiled orchids in North America.
This plant has gained the nickname,"the rarest orchid east of the Mississippi." It's a federally threatened species. In New York, however, where this specimen was photographed, it's listed as endangered. A single population, consisting of a mere 6 individuals, is all that's known in the state.
