Platanthera praeclara, commonly known as the eastern prairie fringed orchid, is endangered primarily due to habitat loss and degradation. This species relies on specific wetland and prairie ecosystems, which have been significantly altered or destroyed due to agricultural expansion, urban development, and invasive species. Additionally, the orchid's low reproductive rates and reliance on specific pollinators further contribute to its vulnerability. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect its remaining habitats and ensure the survival of this rare plant.

Western Prairie Fringed Orchids (Platanthera praeclara) are not known to be poisonous. They are a rare species of orchid found in North America, primarily in tallgrass prairies.

Instead, they are valued for their ecological significance and beauty.
