|discussion=<p>Selection for longer spurs in response to local pollination pressures on the southeastern Coastal Plain has been documented in <i>Platanthera ciliaris</i>, but the extent of variation is minimal, and the situation does not appear to be comparable to that in <i>P. blephariglottis</i>.</p><!--
--><p>Hybrids of <i>Platanthera ciliaris</i> with <i>P. blephariglottis</i> are P. ×bicolor (Rafinesque) Luer and with <i>P. cristata</i> are P. ×channellii Folsom; until recently the latter was confused with <i>P. chapmanii</i> (J. P. Folsom 1984).</p>
