Platanthera aquilonis, the northern green orchid or north wind bog orchid, is a species of orchid native to the United States and Canada.[1][2]

It is closely related to Platanthera huronensis and Platanthera dilatata and had long been confused with Platanthera hyperborea until it was described as a separate species in 1999. [3]
