Cypripedium yatabeanum, known as the spotted lady slipper[2] or palomino lady's slipper,[3] is a species of terrestrial orchid. It is native to Alaska (including the Aleutian Islands), to the Russian Far East (Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands), and northern Japan.[1][4]
It is distinguished from the closely related Cypripedium guttatum by its yellow-green flowers and narrower, longer lip.[3]
