Cypripedium yatabeanum, known as the spotted lady slipper [4] or palomino lady's slipper, [5] is a species of terrestrial orchid in the family Orchidaceae . [6] [7] It is native to Alaska (including the Aleutian Islands), to the Russian Far East (Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands), and northern Japan. [3] [8] It is distinguished from the closely related Cypripedium guttatum by its yellow-green flowers and narrower, longer lip. [5] It is a perennial herb that grows up to 2 ft (0.61 m) tall. [9] Its habitats include mesic tundra, marsh borders, and beach dune lag. [8]
