Cypripedium x alaskanum 'Northern Star' CHM 2025-06-21

Posted on June 21, 2025

Finding
SITF confirms this plant as Cypripedium x alaskanum (Aug 2025). This natural hybrid is very distinctive as a cross between C. guttatum and C. yatabeanum. There are many back-crosses of C. x alaskanum, especially in the Aleutian Islands, so it would be difficult to know the percentages of each species in this plant or whether this was seed propagated using C. x alaskanum parents.
