The Liparis genus was known in the region by a single species Liparis loeselii. During the study of the flora of subtaiga altitudinal zone in 2002 a sin- gle plant was found and identified as Liparis aff. loeselii, but in unusual forest habitat. After additional searches, one coenopopulation was found in 2017, and three more in 2018. A detailed study of morphological and ecological features showed that the plants were similar most of all to the forest Liparis kumokiri from Far East south and described in 2012 Liparis loeselii subsp. nemoralis from the Italian Alps , also dated back to forest habitats and later transformed into Liparis kumokiri subsp. nemoralis.
