Epipactis papillosa (species of orchid)
A species of orchid native to Japan, especially Hokkaido. The name literally means 'Ezo (Hokkaido) lily of the valley', but it is not a true lily of the valley.
Epipactis papillosa is an orchid that grows wild on moist forest floors in Hokkaido.
Refers to the true lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis), a different plant. エゾスズラン is an orchid, not a lily of the valley.
Kanji spelling; rarely used. The word is usually written in kana.
Hiragana spelling, also acceptable.
Compound of 蝦夷 (Ezo, old name for Hokkaido) and 鈴蘭 (lily of the valley), referring to its resemblance to lily of the valley and its habitat.
