ORIGIN/HABITAT: This orchid is distributed in the northern Atlantic region from the northern and western British Islands to Scandinavia to as far north as Sør Trøndelag and east to Jutland. Plants grow from near sea level to about 1650 ft. (500 m) in full sun. They may be found on neutral to slightly acidic soils with moist to wet substrates, growing in damp coastal meadows or depressions between dunes, and occasionally even on the drier dune slopes.
