The St. John's population appears to be the same variety as the Timmins, Ontario, Dactylorhiza (R. Bateman, pers. comm.), also an accidental introduction.

[Recent molecular work (Bateman, Pridgeon, and Chase, 1997) has shown that Coeloglossum actually belongs in the genus Dactylorhiza. Until recently, 2 varieties of Dactylorhiza viridis (as Coeloglossum viride, Bouchard et al., 1991) were reported in Newfoundland, var. viride and var. virescens; however, these varieties are no longer recognized, as the size variation in this species appears to be controlled by degree of exposure in the habitat. Although Luer's map (1975) shows Coeloglossum extending into Labrador, no valid Labrador specimens have been found in the herbarium record.

Some European varieties, most notably Festuca rubra var. commutata (Chewings fescue), have been introduced as turf or lawn grass cultivars. The combinations Festuca rubra var. juncea and subsp. juncea have both been attributed to K. Richt., however, the MBG Poaceae Database gives an 1890 reference only for the subsp. juncea combination.
