How much species? edit
The article says "There are about 25 species of Goodyera worldwide." but soon after there is a list of more than 100 species! --Esculapio (talk) 15:41, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
How many "rattlesnake plantain" species are endemic to North America? edit
The article says "Lady's tresses" is a common name given to some of these species. The four species endemic to North America are called "rattlesnake plantain".
I found: "western rattlesnake plantain" and "giant rattlesnake plantain" = Goodyera oblongifolia "Downy Rattlesnake Plantain" = Goodyera pubescens "dwarf rattlesnake plantain" or "lesser rattlesnake plantain" = Goodyera repens
5 Rattlesnake Plantains & 3 Goodyera species. (four is the average)
