|discussion=<p>Plants in open, alpine and arctic habitats often have leaf blades orbiculate to orbiculate-ovate, 10–20 mm, apices obtuse, anthers ca. 1 mm, and styles 3–4.5 mm, and have been called <i>Orthilia secunda</i> subsp. obtusata. E. Haber (1972) concluded that these characters vary too freely among populations to warrant distinction.</p><!--
